13 The number of balls taken by Yashasvi Jaiswal during his blistering knock of 98 not out for RR against KKR in Kolkata on 11 May 2023 to reach his 50th run. This is now the quickest, i.e.. in terms of fewest balls to get an individual fifty in IPL cricket history. The previous record of 14 balls was held by K. L. Rahul in 2018 and Pat Cummins in 2022.
On three occasions in T20 cricket, Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle and Hazratullah Zazai achieved the landmark in just 12 balls.
Jaiswal also equalled the record of reaching an individual fifty after the fewest overs in a team’s innings — in just 2.5 overs.

21 The number of balls remaining when Mumbai (200/4) successfully chased RCB’s total of 199/6 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 9 May 2023. No side in IPL history has successfully chased a target of 200-plus and won with so many balls to spare. The previous record in such a chase is the win by Delhi Daredevils against Gujarat Lions in Delhi on 4 May 2017, when the former won with 15 balls to spare. In all T20 cricket, only one side has won by a better margin while chasing a target of 200-plus. Surrey (221/1 in 16 overs) successfully chased Middlesex’s total of 221/5 with 24 balls to spare at the Oval on 3 Aug 2018 in the Vitality Blast tournament.
Meanwhile, two days after Mumbai’s successful run chase against RCB, on 11 May 2023, RR chased down KKR’s 149/8 in Kolkata with 41 balls (6.5 overs) to spare. Only one side has successfully chased a target of a 150-plus target in fewer overs. Deccan Chargers made 155/0 in 12 overs while chasing Mumbai’s 154/7 at the DY Patil Stadium in New Mumbai on 27 April 2008.
The tables below details both the successful run chases in the IPL.

6 The number of IPL sides dismissed in less than 14 overs. Rajasthan batters had the dubious distinction of being the latest side in this list when RCB bowlers proved unplayable in Jaipur on 14 May 2023. RR was dismissed for a paltry 59 in just 10.3 overs. The total was the third lowest by any side in IPL history, and the number of overs was the second-fewest taken by any bowling side to dismiss an opponent.
