In the 56th match of Indian Premier League being played between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, the young RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal created history by smashing a sensational fifty at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
During his blistering knock, Jaiswal completed his fastest fifty in just 13 deliveries.
Yashasvi played an unbeaten inning of 98 runs in 47 balls, which included 13 fours and five sixes.
Before this, the record for the fastest century was held by KL Rahul and Chris Gayle. Rahul had scored a half-century in 14 deliveries against Delhi Capitals, while Gayle achieved the feat against Mumbai Indians in the same 14 number of deliveries.
