A career in cricket needs a lot of discipline and flexibility to adapt your style with age. Similarly, financial planning for your retirement also follows the same principles of changing goals and aligning investments with your age. We look at 3 inspiring cricketers who excelled in their second innings at the IPL, post their retirement from ODI.
Adam Gilchrist
One of the best wicketkeeper batsmen to grace the game, Gilchrist played six seasons of the IPL and extended his cricket career well into his 40s. He was one of the mainstays for the erstwhile Deccan Chargers and Kings XI Punjab, captaining the two sides and scoring one of the fastest hundred in 42 balls in IPL history.

Brad Hogg
At 44, he’s the oldest player to ever grace the IPL. Hogg has been a surprise for Kolkata Knight Riders in the current season. With Sunil Narine still adjusting to his new bowling action and finding limited success, Hogg has become the lead spinner for the team. For a cricketer who announced his retirement eight years ago, the IPL has given him a second chance for the last hurrah.

Shane Warne
The master of leg spin and body tan, Shane Warne made an instant comeback by winning the inaugural IPL with Rajasthan Royals. He stayed in the IPL until 2011 and joined the Big Bash league in 2013 in Australia. Warne went on to make his second innings a memorable one.
