Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Pat Cummins made a grand entrance into this year's edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), scoring the joint-fastest fifty in the tournament's history in his first match of the season against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. Coming in to bat with KKR needing 61 from 41 deliveries with five wickets in hand, Cummins smashed a half-century in 14 deliveries, equalling KL Rahul for the fastest IPL fifty. He then finished the match with a six to seal a victory in 16 overs.
Australia has been blessed with some world class sports broadcasters. Whether it’s Bruce McAvaney at the Olympics, Bill Collins calling the final furlong of a Cox Plate or Richie Benaud describing a Shane Warne leg break, they’ve been masters of their craft, and they’ve enriched our experience as fans.
Pat Cummins said he was more surprised than anyone else after his IPL record-equalling fastest fifty in Kolkata Knight Riders' five-wicket win over Mumbai Indians here on Wednesday. Cummins reached his half century in just 14 balls, same as KL Rahul, to help KKR chase down MI's total of 161 with four overs to spare. "I probably think I'm most surprised by that innings. I'm glad that it came off. I was thinking of having a swing if it was in my area. Wasn't trying to overthink it," Cummins said at the post-match press presentation ceremony.
Pat Cummins stole Suryakumar Yadav’s thunder to give Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) a five-wicket win against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. MI skipper Rohit Sharma must be wondering what went wrong after staying on course for their first victory in this IPL till a better part of the match. The skipper had his plan ready to stop KKR dangerman Andre Russell and MI managed to get the West Indian out cheaply too. But very few had thought of Cummins to come out in flying colours with the bat in his first match in this IPL season. The Australian Test skipper displayed amazing power-hitting to bring up the joint-quickest 50 of the IPL, off just 14 balls. He hit four sixes, two fours and a two to collect 35 runs off the 16th over bowled by Daniel Sams to take the side home with 24 balls remaining. Lokesh Rahul had also taken 14 balls for his fifty for Punjab against Delhi in Mohali on April 8, 2018.
