Pat Cummins stunned cricket fans in India and all over the world on Wednesday as he produced one of the most entertaining knocks in the history of IPL. Cummins scored the joint-fastest 50 in the history of the tournament a he took just 14 balls to reach his half-century and guided his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to an comprehensive win over five-time champions Mumbai Indians, putting the team in purple at the top of the IPL 2022 points table.

Cummins slammed 6 massive sixes and four boundaries and hit fellow Australian pacer Daniel Sams for 35 runs in an over to accelerate KKR’s rush to victory.

KKR has now put out some videos of Cummins batting in the nets ahead of the match and that shows how he had been practising the big hits in the nets.
