Top 10 oldest players in IPL 2016

Chris Gayle - 36

Gayle has been one of the biggest stars in IPL history

West Indian batting powerhouse Chris Gayle is one of the most prolific batsmen in the history of IPL cricket. At the age of 36, Gayle is also currently among the oldest stars to be playing in the world's most popular domestic T20 tournament.

The Jamaican's records in the IPL speak for themselves as he has scored more than 3000 runs at an average of just over 46. Gayle has been playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise for quite a few years and they ensure he is on the list of retained players each time.

RCB have never won an IPL title ever since the tournament began and Chris Gayle will be hoping to help them put them across the line this year.
