<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/5390.html"><b>Adam Gilchrist</b></a> <b>Age:</b> 41y 185d<br> <b>Teams:</b> Deccan Chargers, Kings XI Punjab<br><b>What he did:</b> The IPL may have come around after his storied international career came to a close, but that didn't prevent Gilchrist from playing six seasons, including leading Chargers to the title in 2009. He memorably finished his IPL days in 2013 with a wicket off the only ball he bowled in his T20 career BCCI

<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/8166.html">Shane Warne</a> 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 AFP

<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/587152.html">Pravin Tambe</a> 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 BCCI

<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/5681.html">Brad Hogg</a> 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
