The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most famous and richest cricket leagues in the world. On the other hand, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has also made a name for itself by showcasing international talent and exciting matches.

Due to political and security reasons, Indian and Pakistani players don’t play in each other’s leagues. But many top international cricketers have had the chance to play in both IPL and PSL. Some of these players have not only performed well but have also scored half-centuries (fifties) in both tournaments.

Let’s take a look at the top 5 cricketers who have scored 50 or more runs in both IPL and PSL.

1. David Warner

Former Australian opener David Warner is one of the biggest names in T20 cricket. In the IPL, Warner has been a star player, scoring 62 fifties and 4 centuries throughout his career. He was especially successful with Sunrisers Hyderabad.

In IPL 2025, Warner surprisingly went unsold. But he made a strong debut in the PSL for Karachi Kings, where he scored 60 runs off 47 balls, proving that he still has the firepower.

2. Harry Brook

Young English talent Harry Brook has shown his class in both leagues. In IPL 2023, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), he scored a stunning unbeaten century (100 off 55 balls)* against Kolkata Knight Riders after reaching his fifty.

Before that, he played in PSL 2022 for Lahore Qalandars. There, he impressed with his stroke play and scored a century against Islamabad United, showing maturity beyond his age.

3. Shane Watson

Another Australian legend, Shane Watson, has been a match-winner in T20 leagues. He played for three IPL teams and scored 21 fifties and 4 centuries. In the PSL, Watson represented two teams and scored 9 fifties in 46 innings, proving his consistency with the bat.

4. Sikandar Raza

Zimbabwe’s all-rounder Sikandar Raza has been a solid performer in T20 cricket. In the PSL, he played for Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings, scoring 2 fifties.

In the IPL, he played for Punjab Kings, where he scored one fifty in IPL 2023 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
