Virat Kohli’s stellar performance in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s recent victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 has once again highlighted his prowess as a top-order batsman. Kohli’s half-century not only helped RCB secure their second win of the season but also ended their six-match winless streak.
What makes Kohli’s innings even more impressive is the fact that it marked his 31st fifty-plus score in an IPL match that resulted in a victory for his team. This achievement places him among the elite group of players with the most 50+ scores in winning causes in the history of the IPL.
Leading the pack is Australia’s David Warner, who boasts an impressive record of 41 fifty-plus scores in IPL matches won. Warner, known for his aggressive batting style, has been a consistent performer in the league and holds the record for the most fifty-plus scores, including four centuries.
Following Warner is Shikhar Dhawan, another prolific left-handed batsman, with 34 fifty-plus scores in winning IPL matches. Dhawan, who has been a key player for various franchises over the years, continues to impress with his consistent performances.
Not far behind is Kohli himself, with 31 fifty-plus scores in winning causes. Kohli’s dedication and commitment to RCB have made him a fan favorite and a stalwart of the team.
Rounding up the list are AB de Villiers and Rohit Sharma, both with 28 fifty-plus scores in winning IPL matches. De Villiers, known for his innovative stroke play, and Sharma, a successful captain with multiple IPL titles, have left a lasting impact on the league with their performances.
