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

#2 Saqlain Mushtaq

Probably the man who made off-spin fashionable, the young Pakistan bowler was the pioneer in this craft as he not only had mastery over the orthodox off-spin but has been credited with the invention of the doosra, the ball which spins the other way.

Mushtaq played 49 Test matches and 169 ODIs and ended with 208 and 288 wickets respectively.

Back in 1998, Saqlain was ranked the number one ODI bowler when he was 7683 days old.

He held the record for a long time and was broken by Rashid Khan eventually this year.

However, despite all this prowess, he fell away quite rapidly after the unflattering display in the Multan Test back in 2004 when Virender Sehwag took to him and he ended the match with figures of 1 wicket for 204 runs.
