IPL Records: Fastest fifty for each team in 2012

#2. Virender Sehwag: Delhi Daredevils (20 Balls)

Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag was tailor-made for T20 cricket, so it is no surprise that the dashing right-hander features in this list. Delhi Daredevils were having a dream season in 2012 and it had to do with Sehwag's rich vein of form at the top.

Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils were playing each other in two consecutive matches. In the previous encounter between them at Delhi, the match went down to the wire as DD just managed to sneak a victory from under RR's nose by just 1 run. So, fans were expecting another close match from these two teams, when they again faced each other just a couple of days later. But, Sehwag had other plans as he was in a hurry to seal another victory over Rajasthan.

Chasing a target of 142, it was a smooth sail for DD from start to finish as Sehwag went on a spree of shots. He scored his fifty in just 20 balls and ended his innings with a score of 73 from 38 balls, which included 12 fours and 1 six. In the end, they won the match comfortably by 6 wickets with almost 5 overs to spare.
