In a thrilling match at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, India, Urvil Patel of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) equalled the record for the fastest fifty in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, scoring a remarkable half-century off just 13 balls against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Patel's explosive innings included seven sixes and one four, putting CSK in a strong position to chase down a target of 204 runs. This achievement ties him with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who also scored a fifty in 13 balls during IPL 2023. Patel's innings was not only a personal milestone but also pivotal for CSK, who were aiming for their first successful chase of 180+ runs in the IPL since 2019. He celebrated his record-equalling feat with a note that read, 'This is for you, Papa.' Ultimately, Patel scored 65 runs off 23 balls, leaving CSK well-placed at 126 for 2 in just 9.2 overs before his dismissal.
