Age is just a number holds indubitably true in this case. The gentleman’s game has not failed to mesmerize one and all by producing juvenile, young prodigies who have engrossed audiences with their guile and unrivaled zeal by playing top quality cricket matching their more experienced and aged peers in skill and mental fortitude.

Let’s take a look at 10 Cricket’s very own child prodigies:

1. Sachin Tendulkar:

Tendulkar’s advent on to the cricketing scene was in November 1989 when a lanky 16-year-old boy brandished a cricket bat and walked on to the pitch with great grit and determination. Little did he know that he would go on to create new cricketing records on a daily basis and end up as one of the game’s finest ever to wield a cricket bat between the palms. Even before his debut, Tendulkar had knocked many a people’s socks in the cricketing world when he and Vinod Kambli shared a 663 run partnership in a school game which stood as a record till 2006. From being a ball boy to becoming one of the all time greats, this guy has been redefining the art of batting on a daily basis. Though his debut as a 16 year old wasn’t all that impressive, it was only a humble beginning of a stellar career.
