Yashasvi Jaiswal has recorded the fastest-ever fifty in IPL history. He stormed his way to a 13-ball half-century while scoring an unbeaten 47-ball 98 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2023.
KL Rahul (2018), Pat Cummins (2022), and Romario Shepherd (2025) share the second spot with 14-ball fifties each. Yusuf Pathan (2014), Sunil Narine (2017), Nicholas Pooran (2023), and Jake Fraser-McGurk (2024) have smashed their half-centuries off 15 deliveries. Fraser-McGurk has scored two fifties in 15 balls, both in 2024.
Suresh Raina (2014), Ishan Kishan (2021), Abhishek Sharma (2024), and Travis Head (2024) have whacked 16-ball fifties each. Raina’s knock is, in fact, the quickest in a playoff game.
