Top 5 players in IPL who have not won the Orange Cap

2) Suresh Raina

Much of Chennai’s success was built around the current Lions’ skipper’s batting exploits.

Virat Kohli might have displaced Suresh Raina from his throne as the highest IPL run scorer with his dream run this season, the left hander’s contribution in the success of now suspended Chennai Super Kings can’t be forgotten. Raina, despite playing alongside big names like Hayden and Hussey, held his own and scored heavily every season for the Dhoni-led team.

Raina finished in the list of top 5 run getters in 4 seasons and had the privilege of wearing the Orange Cap on a number of occasions throughout the season, but could never end the season as its owner. And it is not only the Indian Premier League, Suresh Raina sits at the top of run charts even in the now defunct Champions League T20 with 842 runs. Yet, he never managed to finish as the highest run-getter in any of the 6 seasons of CLT20 either.
