Suresh Raina remains the most prolific Indian run-getter in IPL history, amassing 5,528 runs from just 200 innings at an explosive strike rate of 136. The left-hander, who last turned out for Chennai Super Kings in 2021, spent 13 seasons—12 of them with CSK—turning the yellow jersey into a synonym for reliability and flair. Raina’s bat sent the ball racing to the fence 506 times and cleared it 203 times, underlining his reputation as one of the league’s great entertainers. His lone IPL century, a scintillating 100*, sits alongside 39 half-centuries, proof that he could both anchor and accelerate at will. While he occasionally rolled his arm over, claiming 25 wickets in 69 bowling innings, the story of Raina is written primarily in runs and sixes.

Corey Anderson IPL profile: 538 runs at 127 strike-rate, 31 sixes, 3 fifties, 95* best New Zealand power-hitter Corey Anderson lit up four IPL seasons between 2014 and 2018, leaving a trail of 31 towering sixes and 40 fours while wearing the colours of Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and finally Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Walking in at 29 innings, Anderson hammered 538 runs off just 423 balls and maintained a fearsome strike-rate of 127—numbers that underline why he was always viewed as a batting all-rounder first. Three bruising half-centuries, topped by an unbeaten 95 against Rajasthan in 2015, carried the left-hander’s reputation as a genuine six-hitting match-winner. With the ball he rolled his arm over sparingly, sending down 297 balls for 11 wickets at an economy of 10.46, never going past two wickets in an innings but still providing the captain with a handy sixth-bowling option.
