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

#2 Chris Gayle (38 years)

Chris Gayle is not finished yet

Rightly known as the Universe boss, Chris Gayle is without a doubt the best T20 batsman of all time. The numbers are mind-boggling. He has scored 11,000+ runs in T20 cricket at an average of 40.61 and a staggering strike rate of 148.57.

It was thus surprising when he initially found no-takers in the IPL auction earlier this year. He remained unsold for 2 rounds before KXIP snapped him up for a bargain.

You may argue that at 38, he can't cover ground as much and isn't the best of runners between the wickets, but you don't need him to run if can give you all those numbers above dealing in sixes, do you?

His 175 not out from 66 balls remains the highest score in T20 cricket ever and is not likely to be broken anytime soon, except perhaps by his own self. Chris Gayle continues to be one of those players who can still bat the opposition out of the game any day.
