IPL 2018: 5 fastest fifties of this season

#2 Ishan Kishan (17 balls)

Ishan Kishan had a mixed season with the Mumbai Indians

Ishan Kishan was picked up by the Mumbai Indians for a whopping Rs. 6.2 crores in the 2018 IPL auction, and naturally, expectations were high. Although he did not manage to set the stage on fire this IPL, he did make some telling contributions none more so than his stunning innings against KKR at Kolkata.

Coming into bat at 62-2, he changed the complexion of the game in the next five overs as he started to go after the bowlers from ball one. He spared neither spin nor pace, but was particularly severe on Kuldeep Yadav who flighted the ball on more than occasion in the hope of a mishit that never came. He brought up his half-century off just 17 balls to register the second fastest half-century of IPL 2018.

He was finally dismissed by Sunil Narine for a 21-ball 62 which included six sixes and five fours. Mumbai Indians would be hoping for more such performances from this diminutive wicket-keeper batsman, next season.
