IPL 9: Suresh Raina completes 4000 runs in IPL

Raina, the former Chennai Super Kings southpaw, needed 18 to overtake Kohli's 4002 before the game when he came out to bat against Kolkata Knight Riders here on Thursday.

Raina, the local boy, led his side from the front in the run chase and scored unbeaten 53 of 36 balls. Raina's effort included a straight six off Morkel and seven delightful boundaries.

The experienced Raina, who returned to action following the birth of child, steadied the ship alongside Aaron Finch. With run rate pressure not there, the two batted sensibly to take the team at the doorstep of victory.
