🏏 Suresh Raina vs Virat Kohli - IPL Careers Overview

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.


Virat Kohli is the undisputed batting king of the Indian Premier League, a Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifer who has turned loyalty into legend across 18 electrifying seasons from 2008 to 2025. With 8,661 runs off 6,519 balls, Kohli is the league’s highest-ever run-getter, firing at a strike rate of 132 and painting every corner of every ground with 771 fours and 291 towering sixes. His 63 half-centuries and 8 hundreds—topped by a blistering 113*—tell the story of a man who converts starts into statements, walking in 259 innings and delivering a match-defining fifty or hundred in roughly one out of every four trips to the crease. While he has rolled his arm over occasionally, claiming four wickets from 26 bowling innings, it is with the bat that Kohli has authored the IPL’s most enduring chronicle, forever clad in the red and gold of RCB.
