How many match did Raina captain a IPL teams?
In 193 matches, the southpaw has scored 5,368 runs at an average of 33.34 at a strike rate of 137.14, along with a century and 38 fifties. While bowling, he has so far taken 25 wickets at an average of 44.72 and an economy rate of 7.38.
Raina was the backbone of Chennai Super Kings'
success. His dashing left-hand style of play at No.
3 gave CSK the luxury to attack at will with a lot
of firepower left down the order. The fact that he
is currently the highest run-getter in the history of
IPL (4985 runs before start of IPL 12) explains the
magnanimity of Raina's contribution to the side and
he is aptly nicknamed \"Chinna Thala" by the CSK
fans. The lofted straight drive (or hitting in the V)
is a shot fans savour to watch as he audaciously
plays without fear in a tournament like IPL. He
recorded his highest-score in IPL-100 not out
against Kings XI Punjab in 2013 in Chennai, but his
blitzkrieg (87 runs off just 25 balls) against KXIP in
Qualifier 2 in 2015 standouts amongst all of his IPL
performances.
Raina also bowls very useful right-arm off spin and
was often used by Dhoni when he had to look for
breakthroughs or try something different. However,
he has not been bowling of late with many other
options being available for the captain. When CSK
faced a two-year exile after the 2015 season, Raina
captained the temporary franchise Gujarat Lions as
well. When CSK returned from the hiatus, he was one
of the three players retained by the franchise.
