Who have Scored most runs in finals in IPL history?

CSK has been represented by up to four of the top five players with the highest number of runs in IPL finals.

The IPL 2023 final will witness a clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK), led by MS Dhoni, and defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 28. Several athletes have exhibited thrilling displays in the final match since the establishment of the league in 2008.

A record-breaking ten times since the first season, the yellow team has made it to the final, which is noteworthy. The data indicates that CSK batters have a slight advantage in the batting charts during finals. Suresh Raina, a former star player, has scored the highest number of runs in finals with a total of 249 at an average of 35.57. He has also achieved two half-centuries in eight appearances.

Shane Watson, a former Australian cricketer, has amassed a total of 236 runs in four matches, including a century and a fifty. Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai Indians, ranks third on the prestigious list with a total of 183 runs in six matches, averaging at 30.50.

Murali Vijay, a former CSK batter, has been included in the list for accumulating 181 runs in four matches. The individual’s most notable performance occurred during a match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2011, where he achieved an impressive score of 95 runs from 52 deliveries and was subsequently awarded the title of Player of the Match.

Legendary captain MS Dhoni, who is currently fifth on the elite list, has 180 runs at an average of 36 in eight innings. Dhoni is scheduled to participate in his 10th IPL Final while wearing the yellow uniform against the reigning champions in Ahmedabad. He possesses the ability to ascend this ranking. The potential for Dhoni to showcase his formidable batting skills and secure a place among the top three in this exclusive roster is yet to be determined, pending the outcome of Sunday’s highly anticipated final.
