The Indian Premier League (IPL) title is one of the most highly coveted pieces of silverware in world cricket. Every year, eight teams battle it out in the world’s premier T20 competition.

In this article, we will look at the 4 youngest players to score an IPL half-century: 

1. Riyan Parag: 17 Years 175 Days vs Delhi Capitals (2019)

It’s was a great day in the cricketing history of Assam – at the tender age of 17 years and 175 days, Guwahati boy Riyan Parag became the youngest player to score a half-century in the Indian Premier League.

Playing against the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2019, Rajasthan Royals made only 119/9 in their last league match, but the young and talented batsman from Assam was the star attraction of the innings as he made 50 runs in 49 balls.

Riyan Parag, son of former Assam Ranji Trophy player, hit four boundaries and two sixes to find a place in the history of T20 IPL.

The young Assam all-rounder was part of the champion team of the U-19 ICC World Cup 2018.  He is the second player from Assam (after Abu Nechim) to play the IPL. 

In 2018-19, Riyan was the top scorer from Assam in Vijay Hazare tournament, and scored 248 from seven matches.  

2. Sanju Samaon: 18 Years 169 Days vs RCB (2013)

What could Delhi Daredevils possibly be happy about amid their struggling season in the Indian Premier League 2018? Well, Prithvi Shaw, that year brought some smile in Delhi’s dugout as he brought up his first IPL milestone in his debut season. Playing his second match for Delhi Daredevils, Shaw smashed a 38-ball fifty against Kolkata Knight Riders at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi to become the joint-youngest player to notch up an IPL half-century.

Opening his innings alongside New Zealand’s Colin Munro, the youngster fired seven boundaries and two sixes en route to his 44-ball knock of 62 runs to take Delhi’s score well past 100 and also lace a crucial 50-run partnership with the newly-appointed skipper Shreyas Iyer.

En route to his 62-run knock, Prithvi achieved his maiden IPL milestone of a half-century in just 38 balls. With that and with his age of 18 years and 169 days, he became the joint-youngest batsman to achieve the mark.

4. Rishabh Pant: 18 Years 212 Days vs Gujarat Lions (2016)
