Brad Hogg Kolkata Knight Riders Delhi Daredevils IPL 2016

He may be the oldest player in the Indian Premier League, but nothing has appeared to dim Brad Hogg’s star. The left-arm spinner stands out in a league of young, new talent and has continued to impress at the 2016 edition of the IPL.

The Australian took a three-wicket haul and a skier at third man to get Delhi Daredevils’ opener Mayank Agarwal early on in the match.

At an age where most players have retired from all formats of the game, Hogg told the IPL “I’m coming close to the other end of my life, so I got to enjoy as much.” The 45-year-old retired from international cricket in 2008, but has found his second wind with the T20 format, participating in the Big Bash League and the IPL and finding immense success.

He returned to international cricket in 2012, albeit temporarily, due to his success at the Twenty20 format.

Bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2015 after a stint with the Rajasthan Royals, Hogg has remained with the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise in 2016 and continues to impress against players who were not yet born at the peak of his career.
