With his knock of 88 runs today, Virat has smashed his 10th fifty-plus score in this year. On the other hand, Shubman Gill, who is enjoying his purple patch in international cricket, also fell short of eight runs of scoring his first World Cup hundred.
Shubman Gill is on the top of this list with 12 fifty-plus scores in ODI cricket in the year 2023 followed by Pathum Nissanka and Babar Azam, who have 11 fifty-plus scores. Then comes the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have ten fifty-plus scores each.
After a couple of rough years, Virat Kohli is having the perfect year so far. With a few more games left this year, Kohli will be looking to capitalise on these games and help the Indian team lift the World Cup Trophy.

Player | No of 50s |
---|---|
Shubman Gill | 12 |
Babar Azam | 11 |
Pathum Nissanka | 11 |
Virat Kohli | 10 |

With this kind of form, Kohli is breaking records in every game and enhancing his numbers which are already great enough to call him the most consistent player in the world. India have posted a mammoth total of 357 runs in front of the Sri Lankan team, who will be trying hard enough to chase this one to stay alive in the competition.
