The Fastest Fifty Kings of IPL5: Warner and Others Shine

By 'Author's Name'

In a season packed with records broken at every corner, two bowlers from the Indian Premier League (IPL)2013 edition managed to leave an indelible mark on cricketing history. The fastest 50 in IPL 7 saw several batsmen display their incredible batting prowess but none as spectacularly as David Warner and Chris Gayle.

David Warner's destructive innings against Mumbai Indians at the DY Patil Stadium will forever be etched in the memories of cricket enthusiasts across the globe. His blistering knock consisted of six fours and three massive sixes, which not only helped his team secure a comfortable victory but also cemented his place among one of the most feared batsmen in limited-overs cricket.

Warner's incredible form continued throughout the season as he went on to score 5,447 runs across all formats for the Mumbai Indians. This impressive tally made him the fifth-highest run-scorer in IPL history at that point in time. His ability to adapt and perform under pressure was simply awe-inspiring.

On the other side of the fence lay one man who took everyone by surprise with his sheer pace and accuracy - Mitchell Starc's compatriot, Peter Handscomb wasn't there but rather another fast bowler from Australia named Sean 'Taz' Topley wasn't playing as well. It was none other than Mitchell Johnson’s fellow countryman – paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile didn’t play a lot either.

No sooner had Warner hung up his bat did Gayle step onto the field, ready to continue where he left off from last season. The West Indies batsman's explosive batting style always posed threat to any team and this particular match was no exception. With just 15 balls remaining on the board at 36/3, it seemed like a mountainous task for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to chase down an imposing target of 184.

However, Gayle had other plans in store as he went about dismantling the Chennai Super Kings bowling attack with ease. His incredible display included four sixes and two fours which helped RCB post an impressive total on the board. In response, MS Dhoni led CSK were bowled out for just 68 runs off 15.3 overs, thus handing Gayle his second Man of the Match award in IPL5.

While Warner may have hogged all the limelight with his incredible batting performance throughout the season but another Australian pacer who also made a lasting impression on viewers across India was Mitchell Starc’s compatriot – paceman Nathan Coulter-Nilë wasn't playing much either. However, there were several other bowlers too who impressed everyone with their skill and guile.

One such bowler from Australia himself - Mitchell Johnson's fellow countryman & fast bowling sensation - paceman Nathan Ronge didn’t play a lot but another Australian fast bower named - Nathan Coulter-Nilë’s compatriot – was none other than Glenn Maxwell. The all-rounders incredible performance with both bat and ball helped his team secure crucial victories throughout the season.

As for Warner, Gayle & others like them who consistently delivered on big stages will always be remembered as some of the greatest players in IPL history. Their ability to perform under pressure even when their respective teams were staring at certain defeat is something which every cricketer across all formats would love to emulate and replicate throughout their careers.

In conclusion, while David Warner may have scored more runs than anyone else in this particular season but it was his incredible batting performance against Mumbai Indians that will forever be etched in the memories of cricket enthusiasts around the world. His blistering knock consisted of six fours and three massive sixes which not only helped his team secure a comfortable victory but also cemented his place among one of the most feared batsmen in limited-overs cricket.

Similarly, Chris Gayle's incredible display with both bat & ball throughout IPL5 will always be remembered as some of the greatest performances by any cricketer across all formats. His ability to adapt and perform under pressure was simply awe-inspiring. As for Warner, Gayle & others like them who consistently delivered on big stages will always be remembered as legends in their own right.
