da betsul: The five oldest cricketers to have played in the IPL
da marjack bet: ESPNcricinfo staff28-Apr-2015Shane Warne Age: 41y 249d
Teams: Rajasthan Royals
What he did: ‘Hollywood’ provided the IPL with the perfect story in its inaugural season: his captaincy, big-game temperament and ability to infuse self-belief in little-known players led the unfancied Royals to the title in 2008. The results weren’t as spectacular in the three seasons that followed, but there was another story perfect for the IPL in his final year: a high-profile romance with Hollywood star Liz Hurley•AFPMuttiah Muralitharan Age: 42y 35d
Teams: Chennai Super Kings, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Royal Challengers Bangalore
What he did: Test and ODI cricket’s leading wicket-taker didn’t make quite the same impact in the IPL – he was an integral performer in the first three seasons with Chennai Super Kings, after which he was a fringe player for four years•AFPPravin Tambe Age: 43y 198d
Teams: Rajasthan Royals
What he did: Perhaps the most heart-warming story in the IPL. At 41, senior cricket seemed to have passed him by, before Royals made another of their punts to give Tambe a chance at big-time cricket. It proved to be one of their most astute investments, as he has developed to become a certain starter over the last two seasons•BCCIBrad Hogg Age: 44y 81d
Teams: Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders
What he did: He was one of Royals’ wildcard picks in 2012 but only played 10 lukewarm matches over two seasons. Two years later, Knight Riders’ love of unconventional spinners and Sunil Narine’s unavailability due to doubts over his action provided Hogg another shot•BCCI
