South Africa Teenager Pretorius Becomes Youngest Test Cricketer to Score 150 on Debut

  • Lhuan-Dre Pretorius, a 19-year-old South African cricketer, scored 153 runs on his Test debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo on Saturday, 2025-06-28.
  • Pretorius reached this milestone as South Africa returned a much-changed team resting senior players after their World Test Championship final win at Lord's this month.
  • Pretorius rallied South Africa from an early 55-4 with a record 95-run partnership for the fifth wicket alongside fellow debutant Dewald Brevis, who scored 51 runs.
  • Pretorius' century came off 112 balls, the fastest for a South African debutant, surpassing AB de Villiers' previous record of 150 runs off 162 balls in 2012.
  • Pretorius set new records for South African cricket by scoring a century on his Test debut at just 19 years and 93 days old, also becoming the youngest player to reach 150 runs in a Test match, thereby raising expectations for a team facing challenges due to inexperience.
