Take AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle! Romario Shepherd is now the owner of the fastest fifty in RCB history, cricket news
New Delhi: Romario went to Shepherd, saw the ball, and launched it in class – it is the kind of explosive intention when he was desperate for the Royal Challengers Bangalore quick run. Reeling at 159 for 5 in 18 overs with RCB, Shepherd replaced the game in luxurious fashion.
West Indian Powerhouse broke 14 balls in IPL folklore and made its name by breaking fifty, making it the fastest century of joint-second in the history of IPL. He now shares tricks with KL Rahul and Pat Cummins, with only fifty fifty with 13 balls of Yashsvi Jaiswal in 2023.
It was also the fastest half-century recorded by RCB batsman in IPL history.
The destruction of Shepherd reached its peak at 19th, when he scored Khalil Ahmed: 6, 6, 4, 6, No-Ball 6, Dot, 4 to 33 runs. If this was not enough, he took Mathesh Pathirana, an expert in the 20th, to provide electricity to a monthly 213/5 to 2 sixes and 2 fours.
A Siddha Bal, Shepherd’s record in the death overs is shaking: scoring just 42 balls in 19 and 20 overs, with 304.76, 10 fours, 13 sixes, and only two dismissal – a true finisher.
