Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar created history on Friday by becoming the fastest Indian batter to hit 100 sixes in the Indian Premier League.
He achieved the feat during the 67th match of IPL 2026 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Patidar reached the milestone in just 933 balls, breaking the previous record held by Shivam Dube, who needed 992 balls.
Despite his individual achievement, RCB suffered a 55-run defeat against SRH.
Patidar scored 56 runs from 39 deliveries, including six boundaries and one six.
That solitary maximum was enough to etch his name in the tournament record books.

Andre Russell holds the overall record for the fewest balls to reach 100 sixes, needing only 657 deliveries.

Chris Gayle (943), Sunil Narine (950), and Shivam Dube (992) complete the top six.
Patidar was dropped early in his innings but capitalized on the reprieve before being dismissed by Travis Head.
SRH bowlers Eshan and Abhishek worked together to dismantle the RCB batting lineup.
