#1 Suresh Raina
The IPL's leading run-scorer, Suresh Raina has been brilliant with the bat, effective with the ball and electric on the field for Chennai. Although initially a middle-order batsman, Dhoni promoted him to the No. 3 slot which turned his fortunes around.
With CSK banned for two years, he joined Gujarat Lions where he did not enjoy as much success. However, with CSK back in the fold for IPL 2018, he will be looking to do well on the big stage.
The upcoming IPL will also be an indication of just how much Raina has left in his tank, having been constantly ignored on the international stage. With 4540 runs at a healthy average of 34.13 and an astounding strike-rate of 139.1, Raina is by far one of the greatest players the IPL has ever seen.
