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

#7 Mitchell Johnson (36 years)

Mitchell Johnson retired from international

cricket,

but is still a force to reckon in T20 franchise cricket

Mitchell Johnson might have retired from international cricket in 2015, but he still continues to play franchise cricket around the world. The 6 feet tall left arm quick from down under is perhaps most well-known for his fiery spells of fast bowling in Ashes 2013-14, where he tormented the English batsman with short balls and was the single-biggest influence in Australia winning the Test series 5-0.

Although Johnson had a forgettable IPL season this year, you don't need to look far behind to known what a threat he can still be in T20 cricket.

It was the final of IPL 2017 when the Rising Pune Supergiant needed just 11 runs to win off the last over with 7 wickets in hand. Manoj Tiwary swept him for a boundary off the very first ball and brought the equation down to 7 runs off 5 balls.

The match was done an dusted for RPS, but it was Mitchell Johnson with his calm head on his shoulders who managed to defend the total eventually taking Mumbai Indians to their 3rd IPL title win. A perfect example of why experience matters in crunch situations.
