Fastest half-centuries in IPL

4. Adam Gilchrist (Deccan Chargers)

Arguably the most aggressive Australian wicket-keeper batsmen of all time, Adam Gilchrist was not far away from scoring the fastest half-century in the IPL history. Back in 2009 when Gilchrist captained the Deccan Chargers Hyderabad, the Chargers faced the Delhi Daredevils in a crunch semi-final game.

The Daredevils had set a modest target of 154 for the Chargers to beat and thanks to Adam Gilchrist, they achieved that in over 2 overs to spare. Gilchrist scored his half-century off 17 deliveries, which was the fastest fifty back then and helped the Deccan Chargers to win their first IPL trophy.
