Oldest test records

Still standing -

 

England's James Southerton is still the oldest Test debutant at 49 years and 119 days.

 

Australia's Charles Bannerman's record for the highest percentage of runs by a batsman in a completed Test innings, set in the first-ever Test on March 15, 1877, is also unbroken.

he can accept the challenge, but he won't finish it. he is 36 now, and real age is 40. will probably hang on for another 3-4 yrs at most

In Kohli's case 72 is the new 52 so he can very well play for 2-3 more decades

Not surprising. It's similar to if Ambani suddenly gets a whim to play cricket he can play for MI at 70+. He can join Rohit and Arjun Tendulkar to make it one of the greatest team ever assembled
