The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder, Pat Cummins played an unbeaten knock of 15-ball 56, joint-fastest IPL fifty, and helped his team to register a dominating 5-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 14 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at MCA Stadium in Pune. Cummins was ably supported by Venkatesh Iyer, who remained unbeaten on 41-ball 50, to guide KKR to chase down the target of 162 runs with 4 overs to spare.
Pat Cummins starred with the bat for KKR and in the process, he scored the joint-fastest fifty in IPL, equaling KL Rahul’s record of 14-ball to reach the landmark, to see off the challenging target of 162 in just 16 overs. He was ably assisted by Venkatesh Iyer to get the job done with ease. Venkatesh remained unbeaten on 50 off 41 balls, with six fours and one six, while Cummins struck six sixes and four fours in his brief stay.
