Urvil Patel scores joint-fastest IPL fifty during CSK vs LSG

Chennai Super Kings’ Urvil Patel scored the joint-fastest fifty in Indian Premier League history during an IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Chepauk on Sunday.

The 27-year-old entered the crease in the fourth over of the match and raised his half-century from just 13 balls with one four and seven sixes. This is his first IPL half-century.

The record was previously held by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a 13-ball fifty against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2023.

Urvil also holds the record for the fastest century by an Indian, a 28-ball ton for Gujarat against Services in 2024.
