During the 60th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, Punjab Kings (PBKS), after being invited to bat first against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have got off to a brilliant start, courtesy of their wicket-keeper batter Jonny Bairstow (66 off 29), who smashed his fastest IPL half-century of mere 21 deliveries.
Having smashed Josh Hazlewood (2nd Over) and Mohammed Siraj (6th Over) for 22 and 23 runs respectively, the English swashbuckling batter went hammer and tongs right from the get-go, as PBKS posted the score of 83/1 in six Overs – the highest Powerplay score of IPL 2022.
Having surpassed the 100-run mark in the 9th Over itself, the 32-year-old eventually got Out on the very first delivery of the 10th Over, but not before having struck as many as 4 Fours and 7 Sixes, at a strike rate of 227.59.
With Liam Livingstone on course of yet another another half-century in the ongoing season, PBKS are on course of a total excess of the 200-run mark, provided they carry on with the momentum till the end of their innings.
