5 youngest No. 1 players in the history of ICC rankings

#3 Sachin Tendulkar

Arguably the greatest ever player to have played the game, Sachin Tendulkar had captured emotions, sentiments and attention as soon he made his international debut and then almost unassumingly made the game his own over the next 25 years.

However, if he needed any stamp of authority over his pedigree, he received in 1994 when he was ranked the number one Test batsman in the world when he was 7878 days young.

He went on to plunder plenty of runs, records, and trophies and ended his career with 15,921 Test runs and 18,426 ODI runs.

The game became poorer when he hung his boots towards the end of 2013.
