Top 5 batsmen with most 50+ scores in the IPL
Batting in T20 is an art, modern art to be precise and hence, understanding the same is not a cakewalk for sure.
1. David Warner (48)
It is an irony that an Australian batter is leading the chart of highest 50+ scores in Indian Premier League but such is the class of IPL. Former Australian vice-captain is one of the most successful IPL players and one of the only 3 overseas captains to win IPL. He opens the batting for SRH and his strength lies in providing steady but aggressive start to his team.
With the Hyderabad pitch being one of the flat but fast pitches of India and Warner’s ability to play shots on the rise comes very handy there. The Hyderabad captain has scored 44 fifties and 4 excellent hundreds in IPL over the years. With an average of 43 and strike rate of above 140, he is often regarded as the most dangerous batsman in IPL.
The interesting thing is that he has already scored more than 4700 runs in just 126 IPL games which tells us how consistent and reliable he is in the league. The one year ban imposed by Cricket Australia (CA) for ‘ball-tampering’ didn’t affect his cricket at all as he is back even stronger and as he has been awarded the captaincy of the team again in IPL 2020, it will interesting to see his progress. Warner, who has all the shots in the books must be ready to go and score runs after this extended break during the summer.
