The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is all set to kick off on March 23, 2024. The five-time champion Chennai Super Kings will defend their title in the coming season. Some brilliant players have been added to the tournament after the IPL 2024 auction.
That auction saw a total of 72 players get deals for the coming season. All the teams are sorted now, and everyone is looking forward to the coming season. However, some uncapped and young players will also take part in the competition. On the other hand, there will be some veterans who will play in the IPL 2024. Here we will talk about the three oldest players in the IPL 2024.
3. Faf du Plessis
The captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Faf du Plessis, is among the fittest cricketers in the IPL 2024. But he is one of the oldest as well. The RCB skipper was born on July 13, 1984 and is currently 39 years and 200 days old. He has been scoring runs consistently for his team. In 2023, he scored 730 runs at 46.13 and had a strike rate of 153.68 with 8 half-centuries. This time, he will look to take RCB to their maiden title.
2. Amit Mishra
The veteran Indian spinner Amit Mishra will be playing for the five-time champion Mumbai Indians in the coming season. He was part of the same franchise last season and played seven games. He took seven wickets at an economy rate of 7.84, and the franchise retained him. The veteran spinner is currently 41 years and 66 days old and is still going strong with his performance. He will look to do well this time around and help his team go till the end.
1. MS Dhoni
Everyone thought that the 2023 edition would be the last season for MS Dhoni in the IPL. However, after the win in the final against the Gujarat Titans, the CSK captain confirmed that he would be back for the 17th edition. That means we will see Dhoni lead Chennai once again and look to win a record sixth IPL title. He is currently 42 years and 206 days old and will turn 43 after a couple of the IPL 2024 final.
