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.

Sanath Jayasuriya lit up three IPL seasons with Mumbai Indians, hammering 768 runs at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 144. Over 532 balls he smashed 84 fours and 39 towering sixes, turning every 13th legal delivery into a boundary. His 30 innings featured four half-centuries and one unforgettable century—an unbeaten 114 that stood as his highest score. While primarily a batting cyclone, Jayasuriya also rolled his left-arm spin for 21 innings, claiming 13 wickets at a strike rate of 22.6 and once rattling the opposition with a three-wicket burst. From 2008 to 2010, the Sri Lankan legend was Mumbai’s ultimate game-breaker.
