Vaibhav Suryavanshi has just hit his second T20 hundred off just 32 balls (eventually out for 144 off 42 balls), which is the joint 6th fastest in history.
He becomes the first player in history to hit two T20 hundreds in 35 balls or less.
He is still only 14 years old

Sean Williams has now scored the most Test runs of all players to have never had a duck. (1,618 runs)
He overtook fellow Zimbabwean Dave Houghton against Bangladesh in April.
Williams is still active however, so Houghton's record may be atop the list again in the future.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored his 5th Test century but it's the first time he hasn't gone on to score 150+
Had he done so, he would have been the first player in history to do so with their first 5 centuries.
Graeme Smith and him are the only two to do so in their first 4 centuries.

Happy Birthday to West Indian legend Clyde Walcott who would have turned 99 today.
Walcott vs Australia in 1955 is the only time somebody has hit 5 test hundreds in a series...
...They didn't win a single match (3-0 Australia)

Don't think there's a wrong answer, but currently Rabada for me on the basis of:
- Most wickets
- Most 5fers
- Best Strike Rate in history (minimum 150 wickets)
And he's the youngest of the 3
Bumrah is the best currently and if can maintain close to this level, then he will be on top
