From KL Rahul To Adam Gilchrist: Batters With Fastest Half-Centuries In IPL History

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has arrived. A total of 10 teams will square off in the 2-month-long tournament, hoping to get their hands on the elusive trophy at the end of the campaign. When it comes to the T20 format, the format is considered batter-centric, with players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, David Warner, KL Rahul, Jos Buttler, etc. piling up mountains of runs to help their teams win matches. Over the years, some blazing half-centuries have been scored in the tournament, with the fastest being registered by KL Rahul and Pat Cummins jointly, in 14 balls each.

Rahul had hit a fifty in a whopping 14 balls when he was playing for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) against Delhi Capitals in 2018. Pat Cummins matched his record in 2022 when he also brought up his half-century in just 14 balls, playing against Mumbai Indians.
