T20 cricket is
generally termed as the game of youngsters but the veteran players are also not
much behind in showcasing their cricketing skills. Players like Sachin
Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid are still the game changers of this shorter version of game.
Sachin Tendulkar is
going to complete his 40th Birthday on 24th of this month. ( DOB : 24-Apr-1973).
But in this
edition of IPL, there are 5 more players who are senior to Sachin Tendulkar and
are already crossed 40. !!!
Muttiah Muralidharan, ace
spinner of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Adam Gilchirst, Wicketkeeper cum
Skipper of Kings IX Punjab are both 41 years old.
And interestingly all
the other three players above 40 are representing Rajasthan Royals in this
edition of IPL.
Skipper Rahul Dravid
just celebrated his 40th birthday on 11th of January this
year. Australian Spinner Brad Hogg is 42 years old and is the oldest cricketer
of this season.
Hold on, there is one
more Indian player above 40 in this IPL edition whose name is probably unheard
by many. 42 years old Pravin Tambe who was selected for the Mumbai team this
year for the Vijay Hazare Trophy was a surprising inclusion in the Royal
Challengers team of the season.
