IPL Stats: 5 Indian batsmen who can reach 5000 IPL runs in 2019

#1 Suresh Raina (4985 runs, Chennai Super Kings)

Suresh Raina is currently the leading run scorer in IPL.

No other cricketer in the world can beat Suresh Raina in T20 cricket. T20 is a format which suits Suresh Raina due to his aggressive playing style. He is a fearless cricketer who can slog every ball for a boundary right from the word go. That’s the main reason why he is the leading run scorer in IPL.

Known as Mr IPL, Raina has so far scored 4985 runs 172 matches which shows why he has been entrusted with the title. Only 15 runs separate the CSK man from crossing the 5000 run mark in the IPL which he should achieve in the very first game of the 2019 edition.

The first match of the IPL 2019 is all set to be played between CSK and RCB on 23 March 2019, which would give both Raina and Kohli a chance to reach this unprecedented milestone.
