5 most valuable players (MVPs) in IPL this decade

#4 Suresh Raina

Raina is a clean striker of the ball

Suresh Raina has been synonymous for consistency in IPL history. Being the backbone for CSK at No.3 for so many years, Raina has always played the dual role of anchoring the innings, as well as in striking the ball from the word go. He is the second-highest run-getter in IPL after Virat Kohli. With a tally of 4513 runs this decade, the southpaw has proved his brilliance year after year.

He is one of the rare batsmen who has scored 350+ runs every season in this decade. He has fittingly earned the right to be called Mr. IPL with his major contributions in making IPL a global success.

In all these years, Raina has played a major role in guiding CSK to three IPL titles in 2010, 2011 and 2018. He even captained Gujarat Lions for two years in 2016 and 2017, helping the team to top the table in IPL 2016. Without a doubt, Raina ranks among one of the best players to have ever featured in the IPL.
