Indian Premier League is one the biggest T20 league across the globe in which the Indian players as well as overseas players come and take part. Every professional cricketer dreams of playing in IPL for once in his life. It has undoubtedly become the breeding ground for the talented and exciting cricketers that have helped other countries to find new faces that can help their side in international assignments.

It is good to be part of this T20 tournament but the important thing is to maintain consistency with the bat and ball. However, it is quite difficult to do so for a long time. This has been a major reason behind some players losing their place in the team that indirectly forced them out of the limelight.

Many big players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, and Sourav Ganguly have so far featured in this cash-rich league. And it is a very difficult task to pick the top 5 batsmen in the 12-year-long history of this tournament.

However, let&#8217;s pick the best five batsmen in the history of Indian Premier League:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-327414" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-4.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-327414" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma, popularly known as the &#8216;Hitman&#8217; is one of the most successful batsmen in the history of IPL. After Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina, he is on number three position in terms of all-time leading run-scorer in Indian Premier League. In 188 games, he has amassed 4898 runs with one ton and 36 half-centuries. Meanwhile, he helped <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/managing-mumbai-indians-at-age-44-changed-my-perception-towards-sports-nita-ambani/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mumbai Indians </a>in winning IPL trophy on as manas four occasions&#8211; 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.

The right-hander gives the flexibility to his team to use him on the No.2 position or as a specialist opener. He has always lived up to the expectations of the fans and franchise as Rohit comes out with flying performances. He is one of the deadly openers in world cricket, who is also famous for his trademark pull stroke that fans dream to watch on a repeat mode.

Rohit is technically a very sound batsman who is always a headache for the opponent bowlers. For everything that he has done so far for MI with the help of his willow, he should be honoured with 5th position in the list of the all-time best batsman in the history of Indian Premier League.

Suresh Raina&#8211; the left-handed Indian middle-order batsman is also known by the name of Mr IPL by his fans. His reflexes and quickness cannot be compared with any other player in the tournament.  Raina has been the part of CSK since his debut and played an important role in team&#8217;s triumph to the title back in 2009, 2010 and 2018.

After CSK got suspended for a span of two years from taking part in the tournament. Even, Raina was appointed as the skipper of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/suresh-raina-reveals-his-lifelong-crush-on-sonali-bendre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gujarat Lions </a>before it got dissolved on the arrival of CSK and RR in the league. The Indian international became the first player to score 5000 runs in the Indian Premier League. At the moment, he has mustered 5368 runs in 193 games studded with one ton and 38 half-centuries.

Raina is also the second leading run-scorer in IPL. Moreover, he has scored more than 300 runs in back to back 12 seasons for his team. Many critics feel that the time for Suresh Raina is over but that is not the case. He will soon mark his arrival in his prime with the bat. Hence, he clinches 4th position in the list of the all-time best batsman in the history of IPL.

David Warner, the left-handed opener from Australia has earned his reputation as one of the deadliest batsmen in world cricket. And, it was IPL that gave him a new dimension to his game. He has so far played for Delhi Daredevils and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.

There is doubt over the fact that he is arguably one of the best openers in the T20 tournament. The fans get overjoyed after watching brilliant and innovative batting during the games. He smacks sixes and boundaries like it is not a big deal for him.

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/south-africa-v-australia-1st-t20i-preview-aussies-return-to-the-shortest-format-against-a-refurbished-de-kock-led-hosts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aussie </a>international has won Orange cap thrice until now in the years 2015, 2017 and 2019. He ended as the leading scorer in 2016 when SRH lifted their maiden IPL title. Warner can be reckoned as one of the pillars for his franchise, who is irreplaceable in the team.

The left-hander has also rescued his team on several occasions. The 33-year-old had scored 69 runs in the finals for SRH and rode them to their title triumph. So, David Warner can be slot down at number position in the list of all-time best batsmen in IPL history.

Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper needs no introduction. He is one of the best batsmen across the globe. Moreover, he has managed to prove his mantle across all the formats. In IPL, playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he has gathered bucketloads of runs with the bat.

So far, his best season as a batsman came in 2016 when he amassed 640 runs innings 16 games studded with four centuries and seven fifties. He single-handedly rode his side to the finals but ended up losing a crucial game. For him, scoring runs is as easy as putting butter on bread.

He is quite equivalent to a team of eleven players on his best days. Every time he comes out to bat donning the red-black jersey fo RCB his motive is only to win the games for his team. The run-scoring spree of RCB has scored a total of 5412 runs in 177 IPL games at a strike rate of 37.84 studded with a total of five tons and 36 fifties. Moreover, he is currently the leading run-scorer in the history of the T20 league. Hence he is currently ranked on 2nd position in terms of the all-time best batsman in IPL.

Chris Gayle, the right-hand opener from West Indies is one of the most interesting and laudable personality in cricket. He has been the part of the tournament since its maiden season. The left-handed batsman is moving towards the fag end of his career. But there is a lot left in him as a professional cricketer. The Caribbean giant looks quite calm and composed on the field that has worked from him during the games.

As an opener, he has played many big knocks for his team in crucial games. Moreover, he has acclaimed several accolades in the shorter format like he holds the record of scoring a highest individual score during an IPL game where he played a magical unbeaten knock of 175* runs.

So far, he has played for Kolkata Knights, Royal Challengers Bangalore and the recent one is <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kings-xi-punjab-owners-buy-cpl-outfit-st-lucia-zouks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kings XI Punjab</a>. Gayle is quite an impactful player, who is the only player to have won back to back orange cap in 2011 and 2012 season. Overall he has played 125 games in which he has gathered 4484 runs with 28 fifties and six centuries. Hence, he can be ranked as the number one batsman in the history of the Indian Premier League.
