The 36-year-old batter is now only behind former Australian swashbuckling opener David Warner, who was the first batter to achieve a historic milestone. Warner, who went unsold in the IPL 2025 mega-auction, has 108 fifties to his name in T20 cricket. However, he is currently leading the franchise in the Pakistan Super League (IPL).
Kohli, who retired from T20 internationals last year, has scored 38 half-centuries in the shortest format of the game at the international level. 58 off 100 fifties have come playing for the franchise he has been playing for since the inception of the IPL- Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The other four fifties have come for his state team, Delhi.
With this fifty, Kohli has brought his tally of 50-plus scores in the league to 66 - matching Warner’s record for the most 50+ scores in IPL history. Warner, who represented Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during his IPL career, scored 62 fifties and 4 centuries in 184 matches.
