The Indian Test regular batsman showed his might with the bat as he scored the fastest half-century of IPL. It took Rahul just 14 balls to reach the mark as in the process he broke Yusuf Pathan’s record of 15-ball fifty in IPL. This was lauded by no other than Irfan Pathan on Twitter. Irfan who has been assigned as the coach for Jammu and Kashmir can also be seen in the commentary box now. Irfan Pathan had tweeted saying. KL Rahul outstanding innings. Fastest 50 in the IPL @iamyusufpathan bro let’s try for 13 balls now?
Yusuf Pathan will turn out for Sunrisers Hyderabad and will play against his former team Rajasthan Royals on Monday. He had earlier smashed a 15-ball 50 against Sunrisers Hyderabad while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders. However, his record was broken by KL Rahul in IPL 2018.
KXIP started off their IPL campaign in style as they registered a comfortable 6-wicket win against Delhi Daredevils in Mohali. After being set a target of 167, KL Rahul got Punjab to a blistering start as he smashed fastest fifty in IPL history, in just 14 balls.
