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.

Subramaniam Badrinath IPL career summary: the Chennai Super Kings mainstay from 2008 to 2013, stitched 1,441 runs in 65 innings, all in the yellow jersey. A rock-solid No. 3, he faced 1,212 balls, striking at a brisk 118 and peppering 154 fours plus 28 sixes around Indian grounds. Though a century eluded him, he raised his bat eleven times for half-centuries, peaking at an unbeaten 71. Across six seasons under MS Dhoni, Badrinath became CSK’s glue, calmly anchoring chases and accelerating when needed. With zero wickets in zero bowling innings, his story is purely of a batsman who mastered the art of pacing a T20 innings—reliable, elegant, ever-present for the Super Kings dynasty.
