IPL 2026: CSK’s Urvil Patel Lights Up Chepauk With Joint Fastest Fifty In Tournament’s History
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings top-order batter Urvil Patel produced a breathtaking display of power-hitting by smashing a half-century off just 13 balls to equal the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history during the ongoing clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
Through his knock of 65 off 23 balls, laced with two fours and eight sixes at a strike-rate of 282.6, Urvil matched Rajasthan Royals’ opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had achieved the milestone in 13 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2023 season. The right-hander was unstoppable from the outset and sent the Chepauk crowd into a frenzy, as he also set a new record for the fastest fifty ever hit by a CSK batter in the IPL.
Urvil has also become the first batter in IPL’s history to smash six sixes within the first eight balls of an innings. Coming in to bat after Sanju Samson’s dismissal, Urvil quickly launched Avesh Khan for three sixes in the fifth over, before smacking Digvesh Rathi for three maximums and a four.
