David Warner, who has created and broken several records in the tournament, also finds his name among the players with the most consecutive half-centuries in IPL.

Only three players in the competition's history have scored five consecutive 50s. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag was the first-ever player to hit five consecutive half-centuries while representing erstwhile Delhi Daredevils, now Delhi Capitals, in 2012. 

In 2018, Buttler equaled Sehwag's record by hitting five consecutive 50s while playing for Rajasthan Royals and the subsequent year Warner joined the party while he was still at Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Which players have scored four or more consecutive 50s in IPL?

Chennai Super Singh's Devon Conway has hit four consecutive fifties in the ongoing IPL 2023 and could become only the fourth player in IPL's history to hit five 50s in a row when CSk take on Rajasthan Royals on April 27.
