Wrong!
The correct answer is Phillip Hughes.
After scoring a brilliant 115 in the first innings of Durban Test, Philip Hughes, at 20 years, 297 days, went one step further as he scored 160 in the second essay. West Indian George Headley was the former record-holder with 114 and 112 against England in Georgetown (Guyana) in 1930 aged 20 years and 297 days old. Hughes thus also became only the 14th Australia to score centuries in both innings of a Test.
