Pat Cummins of Kolkata Knight Riders smashed a half-century in just 14 balls against Mumbai Indians. The match was held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association in Pune. The Australian Test Captain scripted history by joining the list of fastest fifty in IPL. He now shares the record with Indian keeper-batter KL Rahul who achieved a 14-ball fifty in 2018 playing for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) against Delhi Capitals.
Cummins completely demolished the Rohit-lead Mumbai bowling unit with his unbeaten 56-run knock off 15 balls.
Below is the list of the fastest half century in IPL history.
