Javed Miandad was 19. Otherwise certainly in. I kept cut off at 18

I got data for 14 to 18-year-old cricketers. At 19, the number increased a lot. Hence instead of making guesses, I kept cut-off at 18. Ideally it should have been 19 i agree. and the Greatest of them all, the Don would have missed by a couple of months

Wonderful points Kopa. well said, indeed the team has to step up and try to get 30-40 each. and hope that one among Virat, Pujara and Ajinkya hit a ton

Yes, thanks a lot. Updating and will request the editor to update the article as well
A look at cricket's 100 Test men
as of now i would simply say he is an exciting prospect. Too early to say next sachin or sunny. After all it was on a flat track with even Jadeja getting a ton ( full credit to both of course), apart from King Kohli as well .
i would remember the names of Shikhar ( 187 vs Australia on bedut, and the fastest ton by a debutant), Rohit Sharma, debut 100 as well, and Karun Nair , 300 in 3rd test innings, before labelling Pithvi the next tendulkar or Gavaskar
In Prithvi Shaw, have India unearthed the next Gavaskar or Tendulkar?
Exactly . I have no issues with Hanuma. If they were to play him they should have taken him in original squad itself
The inexplicable dropping of Karun Nair
Lucky you to see that 100, esp as he was your favorite Indian batsman

Yes, Vettori for Harbhajan is a good thought. Some may even put Saqlain Mushtaq before Harbhajan. Anderson misses out simply as Waqar, Wasim, Imran are there
