IPL’s Fastest Fifty in League History:

KL When it comes to scoring 50 runs in the fewest balls, Rahul owns the record. He took 14 balls to reach his half-century against Delhi in the IPL 2018 match. In this innings, Rahul scored 51 runs off 16 balls while hitting 6 fours and 4 sixes. The Punjab team scored 171 runs in 18.5 overs, defeating the opposition by 6 wickets. Karun Nair helped his team win by scoring 50 runs off only 33 balls, including 5 fours and 2 sixes.

Rahul broke the IPL record for the quickest fifty set by Yusuf Pathan and Sunil Narine. During the IPL 2014 competition, Yusuf Pathan gave one of the most amazing T20 performances. Kolkata Knight Riders needed to score 161 runs in 15.2 overs to move up to a second position in the points standings and earn two opportunities to go to the final. Yusuf reached 50 runs in just 15 balls while batting, scoring 72 runs off just 22 balls overall. Yusuf Ali’s unrelenting striking enabled KKR to achieve their goal and place second in 14.2 overs.

In the IPL 2017 match, Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine destroyed the RCB bowling attack. They combined to score 100 runs in just six overs. Narine tied for the fastest half-century of that era when he accomplished his milestone in only 15 balls. KKR chased down the required target in 15.1 overs and ultimately prevailed by 6 wickets.

The best non-hundred IPL innings of all time are Raina’s IPL 2014 qualifying innings. CSK needed to score 227 runs to advance to the final. KXIP found itself on the back foot as CSK scored 100 runs while KXIP was on the powerplay. 87 of these 100 runs were scored by Raina. As a result, his team’s hopes were destroyed on the first ball of the seventh over. Raina needed 16 balls to get 50. In total, he hit 12 fours and 6 sixes. CSK needed 20 overs to get to 202/7. 24 runs defeated CSK.

Eight players are tied for fifth place on the list of the quickest fifty. In 17 balls, all eight players reached their fifty. The highest total was achieved by Chris Gayle against Pune Warriors in IPL 2013, scoring 175 runs off 66 balls. Along with Pandya, Kishan, and Pollard, the list includes Adam Gilchrist, Nicholas Pooran, Chris Morris, and Sunil Narine.
