Fast bowler Pat Cummins showed he was also capable of doing damage with the bat after equalling the record for the fastest fifty in the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading the Kolkata Knight Riders to victory over the Mumbai Indians on Wednesday.
Pat Cummins was at his scintillating best for Kolkata Knight Riders in the match against Mumbai Indians as he played an unbeaten knock of 56 runs off just 15 balls. Cummins brought up his half-century off just 14 deliveries and as a result, he registered the joint-fastest half-century in the history of the IPL. This is also the fastest fifty of the ongoing season. Earlier, the fastest fifty in IPL belonged to KL Rahul as he scored a half-century off 14 balls against the Delhi Capitals in 2018. Cummins hit 6 towering sixes and four boundaries during his whirlwind knock. This was his first match of the season as he had missed KKR's first three matches as he was part of Australia's Test tour of Pakistan. Cummins' knock helped KKR register their third win of the season and also meant Mumbai Indians lost their third straight match of IPL 2022.
