IPL 2019: 4 all-time batting records that could be broken this season

#2 Most fifties

Gautam Gambhir

In the T20 format, a quick fifty is as good as a century in ODIs. Up until today, the IPL has witnessed a total of 926 fifties, with Gautam Gambhir (36) and David Warner (36) leading the way. They are followed by Suresh Raina (35), batting maestro Virat Kohli (34) and Hitman Rohit Sharma (34).

With Ghambir calling it quits last year, he will no more participate in the IPL. And the fact that Warner is just coming off a controversial ban will mean that he will be a little rusty to start the tournament.

That would give enough opportunities for the close followers to gain a significant lead. Considering their recent form, it may be a very close competition between Virat and Rohit for the top position.

That said, Raina might also have something to say about that, given that he always seems to rediscover his form in the IPL.
