The youngest man to take 100 wickets in Tests, is Kapil Dev, who was 25 days past his 21st birthday when he got there during India's match against Pakistan in Calcutta in January 1980. Kapil reached the mark three weeks quicker than New Zea...land's Daniel Vettori, who reached 100 in March 2000. The only other man to take 100 Test wickets before his 22nd birthday is Harbhajan Singh (who reached three figures in May 2002). Kapil also remains the fastest to 100 in terms of time - he got there in 473 days, with Mitchell Johnson and Graeme Swann (both 617 days) the only others to reach 100 in less than two years.
