Cummins has smashed the joint-fastest half-century at No. 7. He took 14 balls to score his fifty (56* off 15) against Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2022.

Romario Shepherd (53* off 14) equalled Cummins’ record against CSK in 2025. Interestingly, Shepherd is the only batter to score an IPL fifty after coming to bat in the death overs. He entered RCB’s innings at the mark of 17.5 overs.

Shepherd even achieved the unbelievable strike rate of 378.57, which is the highest among the No. 7 batters with a fifty in an innings.

Cummins’ other fifty also came against MI back in 2020. Only Russell betters him with three half-centuries at No. 7 against CSK, the most versus an IPL team.

Over 25 batters have scored at least one half-century while batting at the No. 7 position. More than half of those instances have come in the second innings.
