Their experience under pressure, leadership skills, and ability to guide younger teammates make them invaluable. Here's a look at the top five oldest players set to feature in IPL 2026.

Malinga, a 25-year-old pacer, is set to join Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad, alongside Kamindu Mendis, who has already received approval.

Lucknow Super Giants already have a formidable pace attack, and according to former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, this could make it tough for Arjun Tendulkar to find a place in the playing XI.

Rinku Singh, despite a sensational IPL 2024 season with KKR, was pushed down in the batting order in 2025 and will expect a bigger role this year.

While some bowlers have dominated individual seasons and proudly lifted the Purple Cap as the league's top wicket-taker, there is another category of players who deserve equal recognition.

In a video shared by the franchise, the former India captain looked in good touch, playing aggressive pull shots during practice sessions.

The session was overseen by head coach Mahela Jayawardene, who worked alongside bowling coaches Paras Mhambrey and Lasith Malinga, as well as fielding coach Carl Hopkinson.

Led by Hardik Pandya, the teams has plenty of experience in their ranks, with T20 World Cup winning captains Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma as well.

The first block of IPL 2026 fixtures will be played across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Guwahati, New Chandigarh, Lucknow, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad

While the start date has been confirmed, the full schedule and venues for the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League is expected to be released soon
