Suresh Raina has marked his name in history by becoming the first batsman to score 5,000 IPL runs. It was in the opening match of Indian Premier League 2019 between Chennai Super Kings(CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB), where Raina received this landmark. Raina needed only 15 runs to reach this achievement.
Raina came to bat one down, after the dismissal of Shane Watson on a duck when the score was 8. CSK only needed 71 to win after their spinners turned the fortunes in the first innings. Imran Tahir was the star bowler for CSK who finished with figures 4-1-9-3.
Along with this record, Raina also holds the record for playing the most number of matches in IPL, that is 177.
