New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Urvil Patel went berserk with the bat against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Saturday, May 10. Urvil slammed a 13-ball half-century against LSG to equal Yashasvi Jaiswal’s record for the fastest fifty in the history of IPL.

The explosive right-hander came out to bat at n0.3 in CSK’s 204-run chase against LSG at the Chepauk and went all guns blazing from the word go. He got off the mark with a single against Digvesh Rathi in the 4th over of CSK’s run chase before smashing three sixes in a row against Avesh Khan in the next over. Urvil took Avesh to the cleaners, making a mockery of the LSG pacer.

He continued his onslaught against Rathi in the next over to reach 42 off just nine balls. The CSK batter smashed back-to-back sixes against the LSG spinner before getting a boundary and a six off the next two balls to get 25 runs off the over. With 42 off 9 balls, Urvil had a chance to break Jaiswal’s record for the fastest fifty in IPL history.

However, the CSK batter missed out on the chance closely as he managed to get to his half-century in 13 deliveries, equalling his record. Urvil got to his fifty off a single against Mohammed Shami in the 7th over of CSK’s run chase. The CSK batter celebrated his historic half-century in style with a special note for his father, which read “This is for you, papa”.
