In IPL 2026, the batsmen of Chennai Super Kings found their rhythm, the effect of which was visible in the form of continuous wins for the team. Batsmen like Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad received most of the accolades but the batting done by Urvil Patel made everyone else pale in comparison. In the match against Lucknow Super Giants, Urvil Patel's bat burst into such fire as soon as he entered the crease that he blew everyone's senses by hitting 6 sixes and one four in 7 consecutive balls.
With this, Urvil equaled the record of fastest half-century in just 13 balls.Batting first against Chennai at Chepauk Stadium Lucknow Super Giants Had scored 203 runs. In response, Sanju Samson gave an explosive start to Chennai and was out after scoring 28 runs in 14 balls. But in front of the real storm that came after this, Sanju's batting looked like a lull before the storm. The reason for this was Urvil Patel, who instead of taking more time after coming to the crease, started batting straight.
