The Delhi bowlers felt the wrath of Rahul's bat

It was the second match of the IPL 11. The Ashwin-led Kings XI Punjab was facing the Gautam Gambhir's Delhi Daredevils.

Delhi was off to a slow start but Gambhir played a captain’s knock and led the team to a respectable total of 166 runs.

Chasing 167 runs, out came the Punjab openers Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul. The rest, as they say, is history!

Rahul brutally smacked the KXIP bowlers and went on to score the fastest 50 in the history of IPL surpassing Yusuf Pathan and Narine.

The Karnataka batsman scored 51 runs in 14 balls and simply made people chortle at the bowlers.

The fine blend of brutal force and finesse in his innings was indeed a treat to watch. KXIP easily chased down the target with seven balls to spare and won the match.
