Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir Scores Most Fifty-Plus IPL Knocks

Thirty-two-year-old Gambhir has been central to KKR's fortunes in IPL. The Delhi-boy chose Kotla to smash a match-winning fifty. In the process, he established a record for most fifty-plus innings (22) in IPL. Gambhir's aggregate of 2646 runs in IPL (ave.30.76) is bettered only by Suresh Raina (2979) and Rohit Sharma (2695). Gambhir also got his 11th Man of the Match award in Twenty20 - his 10th in the IPL.

Gambhir was well supported by Robin Uthappa. The former Indian keeper-batsman smashed 47 off 34 balls to help KKR overhaul Delhi's 160 with eight wickets and 10 balls to spare. Uthappa has amassed 256 runs at an average of 32.00, including two fifties, in eight innings. He is the only Kolkata batsman to score 200 runs or more in IPL 2014.
