Suresh Raina is also known as Mr. IPL

Chennai Super Kings' vice-captain, Suresh Raina, holds the record for the most half-centuries by an Indian batsman in the IPL. Raina has been an integral part of the Super Kings over the years and has registered 32 fifty-plus scores while playing for the franchise. He had been a part of Gujarat Lions in IPL 2016 and IPL 2017.

Leading the Rajkot-based franchise, Raina registered three half-centuries in each season. However, his best performances have come for team Chennai. The left-handed batsman was on fire in IPL 2014 as he aggregated 523 runs in 16 matches, which included five fifties. It was in that edition of the league that Raina blew away Kings XI Punjab with a whirlwind 25-ball 87.

#1 David Warner - 44 fifties

David Warner has enjoyed playing in the IPL

The batsman with the most half-centuries in IPL history is Australian opener, David Warner. The Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper started his career with the Delhi Daredevils before he became a part of the Orange Army in 2014. Out of his 44 half-centuries, 34 have come in the orange jersey. It is worth noting here that the southpaw had had to miss the 2018 edition of the tournament.

He had registered nine fifties in IPL 2016 whereas during IPL 2019, Warner went past the 50-run mark eight times. Also, in his first two seasons for the Sunrisers, he recorded 13 fifties. This indicates that Warner has played a very important role in the success of team Hyderabad. It will be interesting to see if any player is able to overtake him in IPL 2020.
