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.

Nitish Rana IPL profile: 2853 runs at 136 strike-rate, 20 fifties, 261 fours, 141 sixes, highest 87, 10 seasons, now with Rajasthan Royals Left-handed dynamo Nitish Rana has quietly built one of the IPL’s most consistent batting résumés, stacking 2,853 runs from just 2,086 balls faced—a boundary every eight balls thanks to 261 fours and 141 sixes. Across 112 innings he has reached fifty on 20 occasions, his 87 against Delhi at Sharjah standing as his personal best. After eight productive years with Kolkata Knight Riders, Rana enters the 2025 season wearing Rajasthan Royals colours, bringing a proven power game and a handy off-spin option that has already delivered 10 wickets in 26 cameo bowling innings.
