CPL 2016: 5 Indian cricketers who could have been big stars if they played

Suresh Raina

‘The wounded tiger’: Suresh Raina has come in for criticism for his troubles against the short ball lately

Suresh Raina might have gone off the boil recently, his problems with the short ball persisting, and many of his weaknesses being spotted and exploited by his opponents. However, he merits a spot in this list by being the biggest star the IPL has had in its 9 editions.

Two-time IPL winner and current captain of Gujarat Lions, Raina, has scored the most number of runs in IPL history. Not only this, he is exceptional in the field and proved to be quite a wily skipper this year. He would add plenty of dynamism to any squad.
