IPL 2018: 3 players above 35 who have made an impact in this year's IPL
Before the start of the IPL, there were a lot of youngsters who hogged the limelight with their humongous paycheques. Players like Mujeeb Zadran and Prithvi Shaw have justified their price with impressive performances.
On the other end of the spectrum are experienced players who were either ignored in the IPL or were least talked about. It was surprising to see a lot of these proven match-winners go for meager amounts during the auctions.
However, some of these veterans have proved their critics wrong and impressed with their performances in this year's IPL. They have turned around the clock and wowed the spectators with match-winning knocks and helped their teams notch up wins.
Here are the three players who have shown the world that they are still not done yet:
#3 Chris Gayle - 38 years old
Chris Gayle found it very difficult to find suitors in the first round of the IPL auction. Punjab decided to pick him up in the hope that a couple of match-winning performances would justify his price tag.
The 38-year-old batsman from West Indies has been instrumental in helping Punjab get off to flying starts. He along with KL Rahul has done the bulk of scoring for the Ashwin-led side.
Though his form has dipped in the last few matches, 368 runs in 10 matches at an impressive average of 46 are good numbers. He was the first player to score a century in this year's IPL.
The big-hitting batsman has surprised everyone with his performances and going ahead Punjab would expect him to deliver and help them reach the playoffs.
