Is Suresh Raina the Greatest IPL batsman ever

[Majestic]

What do you guys think? Is it fair to say that he is the greatest batsman in the IPL format of cricket.

 

Also, what about other guys- Warner, AB de Villiers, Gayle, Rohit, Kohli, Dhoni etc?

No, that will be Warner

[vvvslaxman]

Chris Gayle with 22 man of the match awards only one behind ABDV 23 man of the match awards. But Raina is the most consistent though.

I think in terms of impact as batsman and captain both, certainly Warner. Purely as batsman, not sure. Raina, AB and Gayle are there as well.

What about ABD? Highest strike rate among all with 4000+ runs and highest man of match award too.

Gayle turned around season for RCB single handedly 

Remeber his 1st season with RCB when they were at bottom and gayle arrived and they were at top i think

2011, 2012 and 2013, he was beast but since then it has been ABD and Kohli for RCB.

AB wins them matches while Kohli plays the anchor role.

Raina is a better IPL batsman than him.

[AuxiliA]

AbD is the GOAT IPL batsman.

 

Warner may be more consistent and Gayle more destructive but no one is as consistent and destructive at the same time as AB. 

[mishra]

Raina is right up there. He comes he does his job or simply he is back into pavailion. He is no nonsense most selfless team player. CSK will be different team this year.

Yeah, I will have them but after a couple of seasons. Let their wicket tally increase a bit more.
