Most 50+ Scores in IPL

Key Insights from the Top 10 Players with Most 50+ Scores

Virat Kohli: The Leader in 50+ Scores

• Virat Kohli surpassed David Warner to occupy the top spot on this list. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter has scored over 60 fifties and eight hundreds.
• While Kohli leads the chart here, Warner has the most scores of 50 or more runs in wins. The southpaw’s 41 out of the 66 fifty-plus knocks ended up on the winning side.
• On the contrary, Kohli has the most 50 and above scores in losses. His 29 fifty-plus scores, including three centuries, went in vain as RCB lost the games.
• Kohli went past the 50-run mark 11 times in 2016, the most by a batter in a season. He converted four of those scores to hundreds, again the most in an edition.

Breakdown of Other Contenders

• Faf du Plessis, the record-Virat Kohli partner during his RCB times, has the most fifty-plus scores among the batters who haven’t scored a century yet in the league. Gautam Gambhir follows him with 36 fifties but no hundreds.
• Warner has accrued the most fifty-plus scores against a team in the IPL. He has 13 scores of 50 or more runs against Punjab Kings. 
• Warner is also the only batter with 10 or more fifty-plus knocks against two teams (10 vs RCB). Kohli is the other batter to have more than 10 fifties against a team (11 vs Delhi Capitals).
• Virender Sehwag (2012), Jos Buttler (2018), and Warner (2019) scored five consecutive fifty-plus scores, the joint-most in the IPL.
• Suresh Raina holds the top position with the most fifties in the playoffs. The left-hand batter scored seven half-centuries, with five of them coming in wins.
