Top 7 active T20 cricketers in the World aged more than 35 

#3 Shane Watson (37 years)

Shane Watson was at his explosive best in IPL 2018

At 37, few would have expected Shane Watson to produce the performances he did in the recently concluded IPL.

He scored 555 runs for CSK at a strike rate of 154.59 including a blistering 117 not out in the finals which took the game away from SRH. Many would remember that he was playing with a hamstring injury and had a difficulty running, but managed to still score at a strike rate of 205 courtesy those monstrous sixes.

Watson retired from international cricket in 2016, but continues to play in T20 franchise cricket. In fact, it was probably his performance in the BBL earlier this year that must have prompted CSK to buy him in the auction despite his below-par IPL season last year with RCB.

Watson doesn't bowl as much now but has picked 215 wickets from 273 games in T20 cricket at an economy of 7.9 runs per over. In his heydays, Watson was the number 1 all-rounder for Australia across formats. But even after his retirement, he still is one of those players who can play the opposition out of the game, when on song.
