Kevin Pietersen - 35

Pietersen has signed up with the Pune franchise

Even at the age of 35, Kevin Pietersen is among the most sought after T20 cricketers in the world. The iconic English cricketer has covered all the prominent T20 leagues in the cricketing globe, be it the Indian Premier League, the Caribbean Premier League, the Big Bash League, the Pakistan Super League or the Bangladesh Premier League.

Pietersen had missed out on an entire season of the IPL last year due to an injury and will be looking to get back on track with a completely new franchise, the Rising Pune Supergiants. The hard-hitting batsman averages slightly above 37 in his IPL career and his skipper MS Dhoni will rely on him to produce the goods with the bat.
