IPL 2026 is going to start from March 28. Before the new season, the discussion about old records has also intensified among the fans. The most discussed in this episode is the record of the fastest half-century in IPL. Rajasthan Royals’ young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal tops this list, who created history by completing his fifty in just 13 balls.
The biggest record in the name of Yashasvi
The record of fastest fifty in IPL history is in the name of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Yashasvi did this feat on 11 May 2023 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. In that match, he scored a half-century in 13 balls and later played a brilliant inning of 98 runs. Rain of fours and sixes was seen in his innings. The special thing was that he put pressure on the bowlers from the very beginning and changed the course of the match.
KL Rahul is also not behind
Second in this list is KL Rahul, who while playing for Punjab Kings on 8 April 2018, scored a fifty in just 14 balls against Delhi Capitals. Rahul’s batting is always known for timing and class, but in that match he also showed explosive style. This inning of his is still counted among the most memorable innings of IPL.
pat cummins
The most surprising name in this list is that of Pat Cummins. On 6 April 2022, while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders, he completed a half-century in just 14 balls against Mumbai Indians. Cummins showed that day that even fast bowlers can change the match with the bat.
Romario Shepherd
Romario Shepherd’s name is at number four. On May 3, 2025, while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he scored fifty in 14 balls against Chennai Super Kings. This innings was also special because in this he scored runs quickly in a pressure filled match.
Yusuf Pathan
At number five is Yusuf Pathan, who achieved this feat on behalf of Kolkata Knight Riders on 24 May 2014. He scored a half-century in just 15 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Before the start of IPL 2026, it will be interesting to see whether any batsman will be able to break the record of Yashasvi Jaiswal this season. Fans are expected to see many such stormy styles again in the new season starting from March 28.
