Suresh Raina to Feature for Rajasthan Kings

Suresh Kumar Raina, one of India’s most influential limited-overs batters of the modern era, will represent the Rajasthan Kings in the upcoming World Legends Pro T20 League. Known for his fearless strokeplay, electric fielding, and big-match temperament, Raina adds star power and stability to the Kings’ middle order.

                                     International and IPL Stats
Raina symbolised the rise of the new-age Indian cricketer—an aggressive left-hander who thrived on pressure and attacked bowlers from ball one. Across a decorated international career, he scored more than 5,600 ODI runs and over 1,600 T20I runs, becoming India’s first centurion in T20 internationals. While his Test career was shorter, his impact in white-ball cricket was profound, marked by consistency, adaptability, and match-winning cameos.

At franchise level, Raina’s legacy is inseparable from Chennai Super Kings, where he emerged as one of the IPL’s greatest performers. With over 5,500 IPL runs, countless clutch knocks in playoffs, and leadership spells with Gujarat Lions, he earned the moniker “Chinna Thala” for his influence alongside MS Dhoni. His ability to dominate spin, find gaps with ease, and accelerate through the middle overs made him a perennial difference-maker.

What He Brings to Rajasthan Kings
For Rajasthan Kings, Suresh Raina offers proven pedigree, calm leadership, and an attacking edge that can change games in a few overs. His vast experience across global T20 leagues, coupled with sharp cricketing instincts and elite fielding, positions him as a cornerstone for the Kings’ campaign and a mentor for emerging talent.
