Suresh Raina and Indian Premier League 2018 are in a way brothers who cannot stay away from each other. Suresh Raina brought up his 3rd fifty in IPL 2018 and in the process made 2 records, which will certainly make Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni proud. CSK won the toss against Rajasthan Royals and opted to bat first. Raina scored a classy 52 off 35 balls. Raina has always been successful at the IPL stage. In the 11 games he has played in IPL 2018, he has scored 365 runs. This is a game in which a win will seal their playoffs berth. They are already well-placed at the second spot in the points table.

The two records that we are talking about is the fact that he became the first player to score 300-plus runs in each of the 11 seasons of IPL. That just shows what we were trying to explain above.

That is not the only milestone Raina achieved in the 52-run knock. Another milestone he made his own was the fact that he became the first CSK player to 4000 runs. Again a feat to reckon with.
