    1) Sachin Tendulkar – Bombay

    The perfect career arc for a batter belongs to Sachin Tendulkar. Two years before he went on to play for the country at the age of 16, Sachin got a chance to represent Bombay in the Ranji Trophy. It is a big achievement to get a chance in the Bombay Ranji Trophy squad. Sachin had enough talent to merit it and he did not disappoint as he became the best batter that the country gave rise to.

    2) Sanju Samson – Kerala

    Sanju Samson is one of the popular players who were selected for the Ranji Trophy at the age of 14. Not many know that even Sanju Samson had an early debut. While he got a chance at the age of 14, it was only a few seasons later that he actually made his debut. However, in the Test arena, Sanju has not been able to make a mark. That said, when it comes to white-ball cricket, he is one of the most talented cricketers around. He is currently the captain of Rajasthan Royals in IPL.
