Batsmen with the most runs against a single team in the IPL
As the 8th edition of the IPL continues to enthrall us, let’s take a look at how some of the leading batsmen in the tournament’s history have performed against their opponents. Just like how it is in International Cricket, some batsmen seem to have their own favourite bowling attacks against whom they are always consistent. There are six batsmen who have scored 500 or more runs against a particular team in the Indian Premier League. Two of those achieved it in the ongoing eighth season. Here are they:
#6 504 - Suresh Raina vs KXIP
Suresh Raina has scored 504 runs against Kings XI Punjab in 14 innings he has batted against them since the first season. He averages 42.00 and scores at the rate of 169.12. He has hit two fifties and a century against them with the help of 46 fours and 27 sixes.
