IPL 2021: Team-wise youngest and oldest player
There is a good mix of youth and experience in IPL 2021 squads as is the case in every season.
6. Rajasthan Royals
Oldest-Andrew Tye
The Australian bowler has earned a reputation as a T20 specialist and has proved himself in several leagues over the years. Andrew Tye is 34 years of age will be the senior-most player in the squad during the upcoming season.
He was a big success in his first couple of seasons and his slower balls made it very difficult for opposition batsmen during the death overs. Tye even won the Purple Cap in 2018 when he picked up 24 wickets, but his form in the last 2 seasons has dwindled.
The former Kings XI player played just one match last season and returned with poor figures of 1/50 after completing his quota of 4 overs. In general, he has picked up 40 wickets in 27 games at a strike rate of 15.45 and concedes at 8.46.
Youngest- Akash Singh
Akash Singh is amongst the youngest players in the Indian Premier League this season and is currently, just 18 years of age. Like Bishnoi, even he was a part of India’s U19 team during the World Cup in 2020 and will turn 19 on the 26th of April.
He was also a part of their squad last season before being released and bought back for his base price of Rs.20 Lakh. The left arm pacer has the ability to swing the ball and given that they already have Jofra Archer and Chris Morris for the death, they could play him as a new ball specialist.
He has played 2 T20s for Rajasthan and picked up 2 wickets while conceding at 7.83. The local lad was surprisingly not given a chance last season, despite their struggles with the ball and he will hope that he gets his maiden IPL appearance this time around.
