Urvil Patel Smashes Fastest Fifty in IPL History: On Sunday, at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium, fans witnessed an innings that will be remembered in the annals of IPL history for a long time to come. The Chennai Super Kings were set a massive target of 204 runs and required a blistering start to their chase. Sanju Samson provided a brilliant start, scoring 28 runs off just 14 balls, but the real storm arrived shortly thereafter.
Walking out to bat at number 3, Urvil Patel began mercilessly thrashing the bowlers the moment he stepped onto the field. He initially rotated the strike by taking a single, but what transpired next left the entire stadium in sheer astonishment.

Urvil Patel made his intentions crystal clear by smashing three consecutive sixes in an over bowled by Avesh Khan. He followed this up by hitting two more sixes on the very next two deliveries meaning he had struck 5 sixes off 5 consecutive balls.
But that wasn't all; a boundary soon flowed from his bat as well. In the final over of the Powerplay, Urvil struck yet another massive six, completing his half-century in a mere 13 deliveries.
The Chepauk stadium erupted completely, reverberating with chants of "Urvil! Urvil!" His explosive batting single-handedly shifted the entire momentum of the match.
