Suresh Raina was the lynchpin of the Chennai Super Kings batting order. He was MS Dhoni’s able lieutenant with many big innings.
The man who has played the most games in IPL holds the record for most IPL runs – 3699 at an average of 34.25 and a strike rate close to 140. 26 50+ scores translate to a substantial knock once every five innings, massive returns for a man feared for his hitting capability on good batting surfaces.
Raina is a little more than 300 runs ahead of his India teammate Rohit Sharma, who has 3385 runs in four innings fewer.
