Okay Uday, I am very sure in case of strike rate of 50, the person has not scored more than 4-5 runs in any case. The biggest possibility being single on the first ball and out on second thus getting a strike rate of 50. Please check for all those cases and you might find an answer to your query...

It holds for every batsman except Kaif. It is all tabulated in the table. I don't know why the table did not appear in the onilne versions. But check out the print version (in Business Standard, Monday, 7th November)
I wonder why you would pick up tailenders to illustrate your point. I wonder if the same is true for regular batsmen like openers Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid. And it would also be interesting to see if your theory could be extended to other playing nations also - like Australia, Zimbabwe, etc.
At times it does make sense, because in cricket, players are typically playing at "run-a-ball" theory and hence the high percentage of 50 and 100 as the strike rate.
I would not bank on it as much from the data and the examples you have used so far, unless it can be extended to other players and other teams as well.

If you have a copy of the print article, could you post the entry for Tendulkar or Dravid? I would be very interested to see it.
