In addition to the youngsters, IPL has also given opportunities to older players to have a redemption arc. For the 2025 season too there are a few players who are at the twilight of their playing careers.
let us have a look at the five oldest players for the upcoming season
MS Dhoni Age: 43 years|Team: Chennai Super Kings
The name doesn’t need any introduction when it comes to the context of the IPL. Dhoni as a captain played a key role in the success of CSK and helped them to win the trophy five times. However, last season he handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad but continues to play a role as a keeper and dynamic finisher in the batting order.
Faf du Plessis Age: 40 years|Team: Delhi Captials
The South African has been a seasoned campaigner in the tournament. Though the majority of his success as a player came at CSK in the last three years playing and captaining RCB he showed he still has the hunger and skill to compete in the best T20 league of the world. His experience and versatility as a player will be a huge bonus for the Capitals in the upcoming season.
Ravichandran Ashwin Age: 38 years|Team Chennai Super Kings
The Indian off-spinner has called it a day in red-ball cricket for India however, he ensured he will participate in domestic and franchise cricket. Playing the last few years for the Rajasthan Royals Ashwin did manage to put up some handy performances both with the bat and ball. However, for the upcoming season he has come back to the franchise where it all began for him, and with his experience on those spin-assisting tracks, Ashwin will be a handful.
Rohit Sharma Age: 37 years|Team: Mumbai Indians
Similar to MS Dhoni, Rohit has been a stalwart for Mumbai and played a key role both as captain and the batter in the side’s success. Alongside CSK MI has won five IPL trophies. Though Rohit would not be captaining Mumbai this year his role as an opener in setting the tone will be crucial for Mumbai.
Moeen Ali Age: 37 years|Team: Kolkata Knight Riders
The former England international is quite a skillful off-spinner and can whack the ball quite a long way with the bat in the middle overs. He too has plied his trade in a few franchises before but his skills were put best to use at CSK which was his previous franchise before moving on to KKR for the upcoming season.
