 IPL 2021: The Average Age For Each Franchise 

Age is an important factor in T20 cricket. At least, it was so when the format was introduced. However, in recent times, T20 has shown that this version isn't restricted only to the youngsters. Experienced professionals and veterans have also done well in the game. IPL has also confirmed this in the past few seasons. The success of CSK in 2018 is valid proof of the same.

With players like Imran Tahir, MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Dwayne Bravo in the squad, the average age is on the higher side. Nevertheless, there are a few youngsters like Sam Curran and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the team as well.

 Delhi Capitals - 28

Kolkata Knight Riders - 28


KKR has an average age of 28 for IPL 2021. This team is a mix of experience and youth. While Shubman Gill and the Indian pace-bowling department represent the younger section, players like Harbhajan Singh and Dinesh Karthik provide the expertise.

Of course, RR also has some experienced men such as Ben Stokes and Chris Morris.

Royal Challengers Bangalore - 27

RCB's quartet - Virat, AB, Chahal and Maxwell are established players and are above thirty. The bowlers - Saini and Siraj are close to the average age.
