The earlier record belonged to Baroda's Atit Sheth, who had taken 16 balls to reach fifty against Chhattisgarh in the 2020–21 season.Sarfaraz even hammered Abhishek Sharma for 30 runs in a single over. His innings ended at 62 off just 20 balls, which included seven fours and five sixes.
Mumbai lost despite Sarfaraz's blitz
