Most Fifties in IPL

Most 50s in IPL history

Over the course of the past 16 years of the Indian Premier League, we have seen plenty of overseas batsmen who have enthralled, gobsmacked the fans with their precocious skills.

But, none has been more consistent than Australian southpaw, David Warner.

And so, it does not come across as a surprise to see the pocket sized dynamo at the pinnacle in the list of batsman with most 50s in the league's history.

Warner, who spearheaded the SunRisers Hyderabad batting unit for a better part of the last decade, eats 50s for fun in the IPL. He is the only batter who has racked up more than 50 fifty-plus scores in the league's history.

In 176 matches, the destructive opener has hammered as many as 61 half-centuries.

The legendary Virat Kohli is at the second spot with 50 half-centuries in 237 matches. In addition to this, the former RCB skipper has also scored 7 hundreds, out of which 4 came during a single season.

At the 3rd spot is veteran Indian opener and current Punjab Kings skipper, Shikhar Dhawan.

Dhawan has scored 50 half-centuries in his 217-match career since making his debut in 2008.

Former MI skipper Rohit Sharma is at the fourth spot with 42 half-centuries in 243 games, while “Mr. 360” is at the 5th spot, having scored 40 50s in his 184-match career.

CSK's run-machine Suresh Raina is at the 6th spot with 39 50s (in 205 matches) followed by Gautam Gambhir, who scored 36 in 154 games.

Current LSG skipper KL Rahul is at the seventh spot with 33 50s in 118 matches, followed by "Universe Boss" Chris Gayle, who lit up the IPL with 31 half-centuries (and six hundreds) in his career.

The top-10 is bookended by former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir (36) and current RCB skipper Faf du Plessis (33).
