Most fifties in T20: Who has hit most 50 in IPL?

Most fifties in T20: Delhi Capitals’ opening batter David Warner has been a dominant force as far as the T20 format is concerned.

During the 50th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, Delhi Capitals’ opening batter David Warner, continuing with his tremendous run of form, smashed his fourth IPL 2022 half-century, against the Sunrisers  Hyderabad (SRH) this time around.

Opening with Mandeep Singh today after his regular partner Prithvi Shaw missed out on his place in the playing 11, Warner began with his exploits during the 4th Over of the match, when he decided to go berserk at the fastest bowler of IPL 2022 – Umran Malik, who was tonked for 21 runs in the Over.

There was no stopping for the 35-year-old from there on, as he kept hitting from one end, as was the case with the entire DC batting line-up today, who continued batting aggressively throughout the 20 Overs.

Ultimately, along with West Indies’ Rovman Powell (67* off 35), Warner stitched a scintillating 122-run stand for the 4th wicket off mere 66 deliveries, to power the DC score to 207/3 after 20 Overs.

The Aussie-Windies duo smashed 70 runs off the final five Overs of the innings.
