KL𝓀 Rahul smashed t🐈he fastest fifty in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday.
Opening the batting for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) against Delhi Daredevils, Rahul began his assault right from ball one. In the very first over of the second innings, Rahul whacked Trent Boult for a huge six🏅 and from thereon he looked in imperious form as boundar💃ies and sixes flowed from his willow.
After taking 16 runs of Boult’s first over, Rahul milked Mohammed Shami for 12 runs. However, his assault on Amit Mishra was brutal as the leg-spinner was taken apart for 24 runs in one over.
In his brutal 51 runs knock which came off just 16 balls, Rahul slammed six fours and four sixes. Incidentally, three of those fours and two sixes came in Mishra’s over. He was finally dismissed for 51 by Chris Morris.

KL Rahul is proving his worth as the most expensive Indian buy with his blistering knock. Fearless🎃 batting display.

KL Rahul is the first batsman to reach his fifty within first 3 overs ofℱ the inns in T20s.
He completed it in the 5th ball of 3rd over.

is very good on the eyes! Uncomplicated with his approach and hi🅺s Carnage has a lot of class and character involved 🐠in it. Lot of normal cricket shots in his shot making .
