Veterans who may be playing their last IPL Final

The nineteenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached its final destination, with the title clash set to be played between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. While the buzz around the grand event is in the air, the game on Sunday, May 31, may be an emotional ride for a few cricketers, as it might just be the last time they step onto the field.

While the obvious senior name that comes to mind is that of the legendary RCB batter Virat Kohli, a few others also may say goodbye to IPL cricket, making it a perfect time to say goodbye to their storied respective careers in the marquee T20 tournament, where they have been entertaining fans for close to a couple of decades.

Here are 3 veterans who might be playing their last IPL final

3. Jos Buttler (Gujarat Titans)

There is no doubt about the fact that Jos Buttler is among the most vital cogs in the GT batting line-up. For the last two seasons, Buttler has handled the responsibility in the top order for the Gujarat-based franchise, apart from being one of the most celebrated overseas opening players in the league. With seven centuries to his name, Buttler also has 4627 in 137 IPL matches at an average of 39.88.

The experienced English wicketkeeper-batter will turn 36 in a few months' time, and by the time the 2027 season comes, Buttler might want to relax himself a bit. His form in T20 cricket over the last twelve months or so hasn't been great, owing to which he also had to give up on captaining England in the shortest format. If GT win the trophy, Buttler might find it the right time to hang up his boots from the league.
