Virat Kohli
There is less than a week left for the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to start. On March 22, the first match of the season will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chepauk Stadium, Chennai. Fans are eagerly waiting for this match, in which Virat Kohli will be seen returning to the field after a long time. Kohli was on a break during the recently concluded 5-match Test series against England. Whereas in IPL, Kohli can make a big record with his bat by appearing in the first match.
Kohli can become the Indian player who has scored the most number of fifties.
Virat Kohli has so far played 237 matches in his IPL career and played 50 half-century innings. Currently, Kohli is jointly ranked number-1 along with Punjab Kings team captain Shikhar Dhawan as the Indian player who has scored the most number of fifties in IPL history. In such a situation, if Kohli is successful in scoring a half-century in the match against Chennai Super Kings, then he will leave Dhawan behind and become the player with the most number of half-centuries in the IPL. Currently, after Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, as an Indian player, Rohit Sharma is at third place with 42 half-centuries in the IPL, while Suresh Raina is at fourth place with 39 half-centuries.
David Warner has the record of scoring most half centuries in IPL
