The power-hitters in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have enthralled the fans with their six-hitting abilities. While two bouncers in an over did manage to tame the six-hitting prowess of batters in the first week of IPL 2024, as the tournament progresses, the batters are once again scoring runs in heaps.
While Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Sunil Narine have been steamrolling the bowlers, Yashasvi Jaiswal still holds the record for the fastest half-century in IPL history. Jaiswal created the record against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2023 when he reached the milestone in just 13 deliveries.
