Indian T20 League: Batters who have scored 400+ runs in six consecutive seasons

Indian T20 League started in 2008, and we have seen a number of batsmen creating history in the tournament since then. But there are just a few who have been consistent in their game and have scored runs in several consecutive seasons.

Batters have shown their rampage in the league and have made their mark throughout the history of the league. Virat Kohli is the overall leading run-scorer. When the league started back in 2008, Kohli was small fry and emerged out to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time. And that is why in the initial stage of the league he couldn't get a lot of runs on a consistent basis. We have a few batsmen who have been consistent and made 400+ runs in 5 or more than 5 seasons of the league.

Shikhar Dhawan

Despite Dhawan's form in recent cricket tournaments, he failed to land a place in the squad for the World T20 Cup. Dhawan has been very good with his bat not just in this season, but in the past few seasons too. He has managed to score good runs. He also had the orange cap in the first leg of the league, before KL Rahul went ahead of him in scoring runs.In the current season, Delhi is out of the league after they lost to Kolkata, and now Gaikwad is the possible batsman to get his hands on the orange cap.

Nevertheless, he still managed to get 587 runs in the current season of the cash-rich league. Dhawan has a streak of 400+ runs in six consecutive league seasons. In the 9th season, he scored 501 runs and went on to score 479, 497, 521 and 618 in the next consecutive 5 seasons of the league, respectively.

Suresh Raina

Raina was one of the classy batsmen when the league started and all eyes of the Chennai fans were on him. He was one of the most loved batsmen and made his debut at a very young age. He still is the first choice of the fans who play fantasy cricket in India. He has scored 5528 runs so far in the league. And not just that, from the start of the league to its seventh season he scored runs consistently and scored 400+ runs in all six seasons.

In his first season, Raina scored 421 runs and then in 2009, he pulled up 434 runs in the season. And then the score got bigger with 520 runs in 2010, and in the 11th season, he scored 438 runs. In the next three seasons, he scored 441, 548, 523 runs, respectively.

David Warner

The Aussie, who is the skipper of the Hyderabad team has made his mark in the league like no other batsman. The way he plays, the aggressiveness, it's very hard for a cricket fan to not get impressed by it. Warner has played many scintillating knocks in his career that are worth appreciating.

Though the present season of the league did not bring him much joy, he has been fantastic in almost all the other seasons. Having won the orange cap thrice, he has achieved the feat a maximum number of times. More than that, he is the only overseas player who has scored 400+ runs in 7 consecutive seasons of the league.

In 2013, Warner had 410 runs in his name, and he did not stop there. He went on to score 528 runs in 2014, 562 runs in 2015, 848 runs in 2016, 641 runs in 2017, 692 runs in 2018, and 548 runs in 2020.
