Newly appointed Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan Sep 05,2019 became the youngest ever Test skipper when he showed up for the toss before the one-off Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Thursday.
At 20 years and 350 days old, Rashid beat the previous record held by former Zimbabwe captain Tatenda Taibu by a mere 8 days. Taibu was 7 days short of his 21st birthday when he led his side against Sri Lanka in Harare on May 6, 2004.
India's Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi rounds up the top-3 in this regard, having made his captaincy debut against West Indies at the age of 21 years and 77 days on March 23, 1962
