With less than a week left for the world's biggest cricket league, the cricket fever is on the high in India. The first match is to be played between the two times champion CSK and reigning champion Mumbai Indians. A total of 60 matches will be played among 8 teams starting from April 7 and ending on May 27.


The IPL started in the year 2008. India won the first T20 world cup in the year 2007 after which the popularity of the T20 format grew exponentially. Since then, each year, IPL is organized and the IPL journey has now reached the eleventh season.

IPL has since then grown and become more and more famous with time. The game of cricket is about the records, the players may forget the records but history registers them and remembers them well. Suresh Raina may not be one of the star performers when it comes to the Indian National Team but he is interestingly the highest run scorer in the history of IPL. Yes, you read it right.

Not Virat Kohli, Not Chris Gayle but Suresh Raina is the highest run-getter in the IPL history. The highest number of centuries is in the name of Chris Gayle, who has hit the ton no less than 5 times. Gayle also holds the record of hitting the maximum number of sixes, 265 in number
