Would Sachin still have debuted in tests at 16 in today's era?

[Socerer 01]

he would have if he scored 400 runs in the ipl and then had good performances for India A on the back of that, may not happen at 16 but by 18 it would have so a debut around 19-20 isn’t unrealistic since the current team is in transition after all

Dude, seriously?

not even close, for one he was better and second, there was no competition for attention and third, he came into popularity at the exact time mass media happened in India
