By IANS News March 29, 2026 • 22:44 PM View: 411

Indian Premier League: Just when everyone was thinking till when he would continue, Mumbai Indians legend Rohit Sharma turned back the clock in his first match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, scoring his fastest fifty in the league, reaching the mark in 23 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit, who has won five IPL titles so far, scored his 50th fifty-plus score in the IPL, becoming the fourth batter to do so in the 19 editions of the league.

This is his fastest half-century in IPL so far. His previous fastest was off 25 balls, which came against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2015 final at Eden Gardens.
