The Indian Premier League is one of the biggest T20 cricket leagues in the world. The tournament is organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Launched in 2008, the tournament is typically held from March to May, featuring ten teams that represent different cities across India. Over the years, the IPL has grown into a premier sporting event, attracting millions of viewers worldwide. Among the franchises, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the most successful, each winning five titles, as of March 2025. Teams like Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have also lifted the trophy.

IPL's most consecutive fifties

There are reportedly three batsmen in the IPL to score consecutive fifties as many as five times. Virender Sehwag, Jos Buttler, and David Warner jointly hold the record for most consecutive fifties in IPL. Sehwag became the first batter in the history of T20 cricket to hit five consecutive half-centuries. He achieved the feat while leading Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in IPL 2012.

Jos Buttler is the second batter to achieve this milestone in IPL 2018 while playing for Rajasthan Royals, becoming the first overseas player to achieve the feat in IPL history. David Warner is the third batter to achieve five consecutive fifties in 2019. Indian batter Virat Kohli scored four consecutive 50-plus half-centuries during his record-breaking stint in IPL 2016. Additionally, Kane Williamson (SRH) and Faf Du Plessis (CSK) have also scored four half-centuries in a row in 2018 and 2021 respectively.
