The Indian batters have achieved a lot of success in international cricket. It is quite well-known that India is a factory of batters. Over the last many years, the Indian team has produced some of the best batters in world cricket.
T20I format is the top format of the modern era in cricket, and batters from India have mastered this format as well. It is not surprising to see a youngster from India playing in the T20I format and dominating the opposition bowlers.
In this listicle now, we will look at the top three youngest batters from India who have smashed a half-century in T20I cricket.
3. One of the current Indian batters, Rishabh Pant – 21 years and 38 days old
Rishabh Pant owns the record for being the youngest batter from India to record a half-century in the T20I format of the game on home soil. Pant achieved the feat when he was just 21 years and 38 days old. The southpaw recorded his maiden T20I half-ton against West Indies at MA Chidambaram Stadium in 2018.
2. Tilak Varma – 20 years and 237 days old
Tilak Varma broke Rishabh Pant’s record of the youngest left-handed batter to score a half-century for India in the T20I format. Varma was 20 years and 237 days old when he crossed the 50-run mark against West Indies yesterday in Guyana.

The overall record for the youngest Indian to score a half-century in men’s T20I cricket belongs to Rohit Sharma. The current Indian skipper achieved the feat at the grand stage of T20 World Cup in 2007. In a do-or-die match against the South African cricket team, Sharma recorded his maiden T20I half-century, which eventually helped India qualify for the semifinals.
