IPL has seen a lot of youngsters flourish over the years. When T20 was seen as a format for youngsters playing fearless cricket, we are starting to see that experience is key in this format and hence older players can also succeed equally well if not better.

CSK has been a prime example of this as they won the IPL in 2018 when everyone called them an aging team. Now, In the game against the Knight Riders in Kolkata, we saw the 40-year-old Imran Tahir get 4 big wickets which dented the KKR innings.

When 35 is considered as the old age where players approach retirement, there have been bowlers who have succeeded after this point as well. Looking at the list of bowlers to take most wickets after 35,

Imran Tahir - 66 wickets
