On 11 December 1988, aged just 15 years and 232 days, Tendulkar scored 100 not out in his debut first-class match for Bombay against Gujarat, making him the youngest Indian to score a century on first-class debut. He followed this by scoring a century in his first Deodhar and Duleep Trophy.[27] He was picked by the Mumbai captain Dilip Vengsarkar after seeing him negotiate Kapil Dev in the nets,[1] and finished the season as Bombay's highest run-scorer.[28][29] He also made an unbeaten century in the Irani Trophy final,[30] and was selected for the tour of Pakistan next year, after just one first class season.[31]
His first double century was for Mumbai while playing against the visiting Australian team at the Brabourne Stadium in 1998.[1] He is the only player to score a century in all three of his Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Irani Trophy debuts.[32]
In 1992, at the age of 19, Tendulkar became the first overseas born player to represent Yorkshire[1][33] Tendulkar played 16 first-class matches for the county and scored 1070 runs at an average of 46.52.[34]
