IPL 2023: In RR-PBKS thriller, Shikhar Dhawan achieved an elite list joining the likes of Virat Kohli and David Warner.
Match 8 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) saw the Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) get the better of last year's runners-up Rajasthan Royals (RR) by five runs in Guwahati. During the clash, Dhawan top-scored with a fine 86* and achieved a historic feat.
It was Dhawan's 48th half-century in the IPL and he became only the third cricketer -- after Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) Virat Kohli and Delhi Capitals' (DC) David Warner -- to score fifty of fifty-plus scores in the tournament history. Dhawan has 48 fifties and two centuries. Meanwhile, Kohli is at the second spot with a total of 45 fifties and five tons in the showpiece event. It is to be noted that Kohli got to his 50th fifty during RCB's season-opener, where they hosted Mumbai Indians (MI) and he returned with a sublime 82* in his side's eight-wicket win.
Moreover, Warner leads the chart witha total of 60 fifty-plus scores in the IPL. The current Delhi captain has 56 half-centuries and four tons under his belt.
