This accomplishment came during an IPL 2025 match against the Rajasthan Royals, where he reached the mark with a six, finishing on 62 not out. His 58th IPL fifty also ties him with David Warner for the most 50+ scores in IPL history.

In his 184 IPL matches for Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Warner achieved 62 half-centuries and 4 centuries. This compares to Kohli’s 58 half-centuries and 8 centuries across 258 IPL games.

This accomplishment places him among an exclusive group of five players worldwide to have reached this mark, joining Chris Gayle, Alex Hales, Shoaib Malik, and Kieron Pollard.
