Chennai, March 23 (IANS) Suresh Raina added another feather to his illustrious cap, here on Saturday, as the Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) batsman became the first in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history to amass 5,000 runs.
During the ongoing IPL 2019 opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Raina, a vital cog in the Chennai's armory, achieved the rare feat as soon as he touched the individual score of 15.
