Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opener Urvil Patel made history on Wednesday as during his first appearance for the five-time champions.
CSK chased down the target of 180 with two balls to spare with Dewald Brevis top-scoring with 52 off just 25 balls.
During the match, Urvil Patel became the Indian batter with highest strike rate on a debut Indian Premier League (IPL) innings, lasting 10 balls or more.
Urvil reached this accomplishment during his side's match against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens.
During the game, he made 31 in just 11 balls, with a four, and four sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 281.82.
However, this is the second-highest SR by a batter in his debut IPL innings, with the highest being former England batter Luke Wright, who made 34 in 10 balls at a strike rate of 340.00 for Pune Warriors India against Punjab Kings.
