Talking Points
Last season, Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered the fastest-ever fifty in IPL history. The southpaw batter took a mere 13 balls to bring up his 50. So you can expect some fiery knocks from Jaiswal in IPL 2024.
The likes of Nicholas Pooran, Hardik Pandya, and Ishan Kishan have a knack for scoring runs at a faster pace. That might result in them crushing the opponent’s bowling attack, squeezing out maximum runs off fewer balls.
Shivam Dube’s quick-fire knocks in the 2023 edition helped CSK put up challenging totals on the board. The management must be expecting the same from him this season as well, taking proficiently on pace and spin.
It will be interesting to see which batter shatters Jaiswal’s record this season.
