May 3, 2025 – Bengaluru:
IPL Fastest 50 in 2025: History was witnessed by cricket fans at the Chinaswamy Stadium as Romario Shepherd, representing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), blasted the fastest fifty of IPL 2025, reaching it in only 14 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
21-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal tore the IPL record books apart, battering the league’s fastest half-century from just 13 balls. He made a two-paced pitch read like a belter to jumpstart their IPL revival. Amazingly, KKR captain Nitish Rana awarded himself the new ball and the experiment came unstuck with Jaiswal striking 26 from the first over. The other Rana – Harshit – did not escape either as Jaiswal chopped the pacer behind point and flat-batted him down the ground for fours. Jaiswal also tore into Shardul Thakur and registered his half-century in less than three overs. Jaiswal threatened to make it a century, but the target was not large enough. Royals finally ran down 150 with nine wickets and nearly seven overs in hand.
