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.

Mayank Agarwal has built a 15-season IPL résumé that reads like a power-hitting manual. Since his 2011 debut with Royal Challengers Bengaluru—the same camp he re-joined for the 2025 season—Agarwal has stacked up 2,756 runs from 2,064 balls, translating to an aggressive strike-rate of 133. His boundary map tells the bigger story: 273 fours and 100 sixes, the latter figure crossing the three-figure mark to underline his love for clearing the rope. Among 125 innings, he has breached fifty on 13 occasions and turned one of those into a statement 106, the highest score of his IPL career. While the right-hander has turned out for six franchises, his most prolific stint came with Punjab Kings between 2018 and 2022, where he became the mainstay at the top of the order. After a brief stop at Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023-24, Mayank returns to RCB in 2025, hoping to recreate the fearless brand of batting that has made him one of the league’s most watchable openers.
