Fastest 50s in  IPL2022 :


14 balls - Pat Cummins vs MI


21 balls - Liam Livingstone vs GT


23 balls - Evin Lewis vs CSK


25 balls - Sanju Samson vs SRH


25 balls - Robin Uthappa vs LSG


26 balls - Andre Russell vs PBKS


26 balls - Shivam Dube vs PBKS


27 balls - Liam Livingstone vs CSK


Livingstone could not really find his form in the first two matches of IPL 2022 but in third game against CSK, he found his mojo back and smashed 60 off just 32 balls. 


On Friday vs GT, he smashed 64 off just 27 balls. 


He had luck on his side on Friday. He survived by the skin of his teeth in the ninth over, when he was on 14, as Titans captain Hardik Pandya's foot touched the boundary ropes while trying to take a high catch off spinner Rashid Khan (3/22).


The Englishman took full advantage of the 'life' given to him as he reached to his fifty off 21 balls. In the end, he struck seven fours and four sixes in his quickfire knock.


The potent Gujarat Titans bowling attack made a brief comeback with debutant Darshan Nalkande (2/37) and the seasoned Rashid claiming wickets in quick succession.
