T20 cricket is usually considered as young man’s game. This form of instant cricket is fast, aggressive and full of rush. But this, in fact, is a huge misconception. Actually, veterans have been equally effective in all departments as compared to their younger counterparts. The ninth season of the Indian Premier League will also see a lot of old guns who are ready to fire. So, here we bring to you the list of 5 oldest players featuring in IPL 2016.

<strong>5. Ashish Nehra (36 years 284 days):</strong>

Nehra aged 36 years and 384 days will play for Sunrisers Hyderabad this season. Even at this age, his effectiveness with the ball hasn’t dropped a bit.
