#3 Imran Nazir - 18 years and 121 days

Group D, Pakistan v Zimbabwe - Cricket World Cup 2007
Nazir on his day could dispatch any bowling attack out of the ground with ease.

The dashing Pakistan opener Nazir is the third youngest centurion in the history of ODI cricket. The aggressive opener made his ODI debut aged just 17 but had to wait for a year to score his first ODI hundred.

In the final match of the ODI series, Zimbabwe managed only 207. Chasing 208 to win, Nazir played an entertaining knock which included 10 fours and 2 sixes. His unbeaten 105 ensured that Pakistan won the match without any unease.

Nazir's inconsistencies with the bat paved for him to be constantly in and out of the side. However, he has managed a total of 79 appearances in the Pakistan color and has been a part of many memorable victories.
