Beyond the numbers
500 matches, 13,837 runs across all formats
Raina has accumulated 13,837 runs from 500 matches at a career batting average of 34.08 and a strike rate of 107.36. He has also contributed with the ball, taking 86 wickets at an economy of 5.36 across those appearances.
ODIs remain his primary format
Across 201 One-Day Internationals, Raina averages 36.74 with the bat at a strike rate of 93.79, making the format his most statistically productive. His 36 ODI wickets at an economy of 5.10 add genuine all-round value at the international level.
A near-identical IPL record across 200 games
Raina's IPL figures mirror his ODI run tally almost exactly: 5,536 runs from 200 matches, but at a strike rate of 136.83 rather than the more measured ODI tempo. That T20 gear-shift underlines the range he brings to different formats.
Strongest opponent record against Sri Lanka
In 57 matches against Sri Lanka, Raina has scored 1,768 runs at an average of 40.18. That is his highest batting average against any international side with a meaningful sample size, and his economy of 5.37 with the ball against them is equally tidy.
R. Premadasa his most profitable venue by average
At R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Raina averages 50.90 across 16 matches, higher than at any other ground in his top venues. His economy there of 3.95 makes it a ground where both disciplines have clicked.
