Urvil Patel, the Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) rising star etched his name into the record books, blasting a 13-ball half-century against the Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday, equaling Yashasvi Jaiswal’s record for the fastest fifty in IPL history.
Chasing a formidable target of 204, CSK faced an early setback when Sanju Samson departed for 28. Entering at number three, Urvil Patel didn’t bother with a “sighter.” After a single on his first ball, the right-hander unleashed a sequence of power-hitting that left the Chepauk crowd – and the opposition – in a state of shock.
By reaching the 50-run mark in just 13 balls, Urvil Patel joined Yashasvi Jaiswal (who set the record for RR against KKR in 2023) at the top of the mountain. He surpassed IPL stars like KL Rahul and Pat Cummins, who previously held the record at 14 balls.
