Fastest IPL team fifties: Which teams reached 50 in the fewest balls?

The fastest team fifty in IPL history came back in 2011, when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) raced to the milestone in just 15 balls (2.3 overs) against Kochi Tuskers Kerala - a franchise which later became defunct.

Since then, several teams have come close, with multiple sides reaching 50 in just 16 deliveries.

The latest 16-ball team fifty came during the IPL 2026. Rajasthan Royals reached the milestone against the Mumbai Indians (MI), powered by a brutal opening assault from the team's opening duo of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashavi Jaiswal.
