The Indian Premier League has been the home of pulsing entertainment for all sports lovers and enthusiasts. The league has seen some record-breaking performances throughout 18 seasons. Some of the most electric moments in the IPL are those lightning-fast fifties—those explosive innings that change the course of a game in just a few balls. 

Since the beginning of the IPL in 2008, there have been incredibly high-paced half-centuries with many batsmen setting the stage on fire. This guide will talk about the IPL fastest fifty and the different batsmen who have used only a few balls to reach this milestone. 

A Look at the fastest fifties in the history of the IPL 

Yashaswi Jaiswal 

Against - Kolkata Knight Riders

Balls Taken - 13 Balls 

One of the youngest players in the IPL to score a half century, Yashaswi Jaiswal is a key player of the Rajasthan squad, and his 13-ball fifty is the fastest 50 in IPL. His incredible skills and terrific batting allowed him to put fear in the opposition’s bowlers. 

KL Rahul – 14 Balls 

Against - Delhi Capitals 

Balls Taken - 14 Balls 

Using just 14 balls, KL Rahul showed the world that he also knew how to accelerate and was a stable batter. This explosive start saw Punjab chase down the target in a matter of a flash, with Rahul showcasing the best timing and confidence.

Pat Cummins 

Against - Mumbai Indians 

Balls Taken -  14 Balls 

Famous mostly for his bowling duties, Cummins shocked the world by matching Rahul's record. That 14-ball 50 had 6 sixes and took KKR to a very thrilling victory against a team who was already in the lead during the match. 

Yusuf Pathan

Against - Sunrisers Hyderabad 

Balls Taken -  14 Ball5 

Yusuf Pathan was the OG destroyer in the league who had the ability to accelerate his game and bring his team to the top of the table. His knock remains memorable for its sheer aggression in the face of pressure, even before the fast style of batting became the trend in the IPL. 

Sunil Narine

Against - Royal Challengers Bangalore  

Balls Taken -  15 Balls 

With a promotion to the opening position, Narine used this opportunity to great effect with an amazing fifty off just 15 balls. His unusual position as an opener shocked people; however, this unique thinking paid off brilliantly.
