Chennai Super Kings v Royal Challengers Bangalore - IPL T20
Chennai Super Kings run machine - Suresh Raina

Indian Premier League’s highest ever run-getter. The 31-year-old left-hander is one of the most prolific batsmen in the history of the tournament. He has amassed 4540 runs in the previous 10 editions of the tournament at a stunning average of 34.13 and a huge strike rate of 139.09.

He has scored 500+ runs in a season on three occasions. He was retained by Chennai Super Kings for a mind-boggling $2.2 million/Rs 11 Cr. Suresh Raina has been recalled to the Indian T20 side for the tour of South Africa and he will look to capitalize on the opportunity.

Surprisingly, Raina has never won an Orange Cap and the return of Chennai Super Kings will give him an opportunity to regain his best Twenty20 form. 2018 could be the year of Suresh Raina.
