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.

Gurkeerat Singh – IPL middle-order powerhouse – has stacked 511 runs in 32 innings at a strike-rate of 121, showing he can both rotate and clear the rope. The right-hander has crunched 55 fours and 11 sixes, with two half-centuries topping out at a personal-best 65. Across seven seasons (2012–2020) with Punjab Kings and later Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Punjab lad has proven himself a valuable late-overs accelerator. While primarily a batting asset, he has chipped in with five wickets in six bowling innings, including a best of 2 for 15, keeping things tight at 7.46 rpo.
