1.Faiz Fazal India
Faiz Fazal made his debut against Zimbabwe on 15th June 2016 where he scored an unbeaten 55. At the time of his debut, Faiz Fazal was 30 years, nine months and nine days old. After years of hard work and a dream season in 2015-16 where he scored tons in Deodhar Cup final and the Irani Cup, Fazal was included in the national squad for Zimbabwe 16 years after the last Indian player made his debut in the thirties. His ability to score big on big occasions makes him stand out from the rest. Under his captainship, Vidharbha won its maiden Ranji Trophy title on 1 January 2018. He was top scorer from his team by scoring 912 runs at an average of 70.15. (BCCI Twitter)
2.Bhagwat Chandrasekhar
Ranked amongst the top leg spinners, Chandrashekhar was honoured with Arjuna Award for cricket in 1972. Despite having a damaged right arm due to polio, Chandrasekhar along with E.A.S. Prasanna, Bishen Singh Bedi and Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan constituted the Indian spin quartet that dominated spin bowling during the 1960s and 1970s. Despite playing Test cricket for India since the age of 18, Chandrashekhar played his first and only ODI in 1976 where he took 3 wickets for 36 runs. (Image credit: Twitter)
3.Utpal Chatterjee India
A left-arm orthodox spinner, Chatterjee could turn the ball square under favourable conditions. He had decent outings in his first 2 games in the Asia Cup 1995 but was treated with disdain by the Kiwis soon, after which he was never picked again. A veteran spinner in domestic cricket, Utpal scalped a record 504 victims for Bengal and serves as the head coach of the team since 2008. When he made his ODI debut in 1995, Utpal Chatterjee’s age was 30 years, eight months and 23 days. (Image credit: Twitter)
4.Chetan Chauhan India
Forming the most successful opening pair for India with Sunil Gavaskar, Chauhan enjoyed a fruitful Test career but couldn’t repeat his heroics in limited overs cricket. Though he was awarded the Arjuna Award in 1981, Chauhan could muster only 153 runs in 7 ODIs with the highest score of 46. After retirement, he was appointed as one of the selectors for North Zone. He has also held the post of the DDCA president. When Chauhan made his debut, he was 31 years, two months and 12 days old. After cricket and administration, Chauhan joined the BJP. On 12 July 2020, he was admitted to the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19. He died due to complications and multiple organ failure on 16 August 2020 at the age of 73.

5.Ajit Wadekar India
After toiling for eight long years on the first-class level, Ajit Wadekar made his Test debut in 1966 but had to wait until 1974 for a place in the limited overs side. The Government of India honoured him with the Arjuna Award in 1967. Despite leading India to historic Test wins against England and West Indies, Wadekar was forced to retire early due to the disastrous tour of England in 1974 which meant that he played only 2 ODIs in which he scored 67* and 3. When Wadekar made his debut in that England tour, he was 33 years, three months and 12 days. (Image credit: Twitter)
6.Farokh Engineer India
The oldest Indian cricketer to debut in ODIs in 1975, Farokh Engineer served as the first choice wicket keeper for the Test team since 1961. When he made his ODI debut, he was 36 years, four months and 18 days old. Playing in the twilight of his career, he could score only 114 runs in 5 matches. Famous for his good looks and style, Engineer was signed up by Brylcreem for modelling after Keith Miller and Dennis Compton. After retirement, he continued to be in the media spotlight and his views were often sought for games. (Image credit: Twitter)
