Talking Points
Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan are inching closer to having 60 50-plus scores to their name in the IPL. Both must be eager to join David Warner, who has the most 50-plus scores in the league’s history.
Kohli’s opening partner, Faf du Plessis, was in sublime touch last season for RCB with 8 fifty-plus scores. He will look to continue his form where he left off.
India’s young blood, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Ruturaj Gaikwad, are in the offing to break into this list as the tournament progresses.
Apart from them, Glenn Maxwell, Jos Buttler, and Heinrich Klaasen have the ability to churn out significant knocks at a rapid pace.
Kohli racked up 11 fifty-plus scores in the 2016 season — the most by any batter in a single IPL season. Will any batter manage to break his record this season?
