Yashasvi Jaiswal slams fastest 50 in IPL history
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored the fastest half-century in the history of IPL to give Rajasthan Royals a nine-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders, said that he is learning the skill of staying till the end and winning the team. In response to KKR’s 149 for eight, the Royals won with 41 balls to spare. Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 98 in 47 balls with the help of 12 fours and five sixes. He broke the record of KL Rahul and Pat Cummins and scored a half-century in 13 balls, which is the fastest half-century in IPL.
Jaiswal touched the 50-run mark in just 13 balls, which included 7 fours and 3 brilliant sixes. Before Jaiswal, this record was in the name of KL Rahul and Pat Cummins. Rahul scored a 14-ball fifty while playing for Punjab Kings against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2018. While Pat Cummins scored a half-century off 14 balls against Mumbai Indians. But now this record has been named after 21-year-old Jaiswal.
Yashasvi Jaiswal started the attack from the very first ball of the innings and smashed 26 runs in the very first over bowled by Nitish Rana. He hit 2 sixes and 3 fours in this over after that. In the next 7 balls, he batted stormy and hit 4 fours and 1 six. Yashasvi Jaiswal hit 10 boundaries in 13 balls and took a single off 2 balls and a double off one ball. In this way, he has scored the fastest half-century while creating history in IPL.
Yashasvi Jaiswal continues his stellar run in IPL 2023. He is currently at number two in the list of highest run-scorers. Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis is ahead of him, who has scored 576 runs in 11 matches. Jaiswal currently has more than 530 runs in his name and during this innings he can also cross Faf’s record. Jaiswal has scored 4 half-centuries and 1 brilliant century in this IPL season. He played a brilliant inning of 124 runs against Mumbai Indians.
