I've got one for you Brod...

I remember reading that Suresh Raina from India, had some sort of T20 record... But buggered if I can remember what it is...

Looked like a real twat at work going for the big "slam dunk" on sporting knowledge, and came up empty!

Nice and broad there MP

I know! If I could remember what it was, I wouldn't have asked!

Its not a record but he one of four players to score a T20I century

[Media Park]

HA! I think it might be... Most runs in IPL?
