Modified Jan 17, 2019 15:22 IST

Chennai Super Kings - Suresh Raina

There is a lot of debate over who is the biggest hitter in the Chennai Super Kings batting line-up. Whilst Dhoni seems to be the obvious choice, there are plenty of reasons why Suresh Raina is ahead of Dhoni here.

Raina has always proved to be an impact player for the CSK who has a wide range of shots and the power to exploit the scoring opportunities. His skills are very important to the CSK and he is their biggest striker and an impact player. His devastating strike rate of 138.4 over the course of 176 games speaks for itself.

Mumbai Indians - Rohit Sharma

The Mumbai Indians skipper is a run-scoring juggernaut in the Indian Premier League and one of the most devastating players for the Mumbai franchise. When Rohit gets going, he can strike the ball as cleanly as anyone in the world.

Also, he has got oozing class about his batting which makes his big shots look delightful. Rohit had a poor season with the bat in 2018 as he scored 286 runs. Rohit Sharma has a career strike rate of 131 in 173 games which proves that he has been a match-winner for a long period. He also has struck 184 sixes, which is the fifth highest in IPL history.
