Slowest Fifty in IPL: Batsmen have become very fast in IPL. In the last season i.e. 2025 IPL, the mark of 300 runs was just touching. Many times a total of more than 250 runs was put on the board. But amidst this fast-paced IPL, we will tell you who are the top-7 batsmen who have scored the slowest fifty in the history of the tournament.
The batsman who scored the slowest fifty is a foreigner. There are 3 Indian players present in the top-7 batsmen. The slowest fifty came in the 2009 IPL. 17 years have passed since this shameful record was established. No batsman would like to break this unwanted record. In today’s IPL, where explosive batting is seen, it seems impossible to break such a record.
Who is first in the list?
Former South African player JP Duminy is seen at number one in the list, who while playing for Mumbai Indians in 2009, completed fifty in 55 balls in the match against Punjab Kings. In this way, there is a record in Duminy’s name for scoring the slowest fifty in IPL history.
Who are the three Indians in the list?
Three Indians Parthiv Patel, Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir are present in the list. All three players have retired from cricket. Gautam is currently the head coach of Team India. Parthiv Patel and Robin Uthappa are often seen in the commentary box.
