IPL 2017: 5 players with most sixes in IPL history

#3 Suresh Raina

Raina in full flow is simply a delight to watch

160 sixes in 147 matches

Perhaps the real reason why Suresh Raina hasn't been himself in India colors have to do with the color of his jersey. Across the first eight years of the IPL, decked in yellow, Raina made a mockery of his shortcomings as a batsman, the boundaries and the quality of bowling on display at the IPL.

For Chennai Super Kings, Raina was the epitome of consistency. The casual flick of his legs, the waltz down the track with utter disdain when he is faced with a spinner or just the effortless ease with which he caresses the ball over cover, all the way over the boundary for a six. Those were moments that brought tears of joy to the eyes of the millions of his adoring fans.

In IPL 2016, Raina missed his first IPL game and yet he has played more than anyone else and features in third place on this list and second on the list of most runs in the history of the tournament, below just Virat Kohli after the RCB skipper's you-have-to-see-it-otherwise-you-will-not-believe-what-happened season in 2016.
