While the Indian Premier League (IPL) is known for its high-scoring nature, hitting a half-century is not all that easy a task. Often batsmen close to crossing the 50-run mark are dismissed trying to hit a boundary and reach the landmark.

Over its 16 seasons, some IPL batsmen have, however, made it their forte to score 50+ runs and help their side put up a formidable score or chase a large total. The likes of David Warner, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and more, have mastered the art of putting up half-centuries.
