Mumbai Indians (MI) have been among the most aggressive batting teams in the IPL. With their bold style of play and batting strength, MI have frequently stunned everyone with their scorching beginnings.

Scoring 50 runs within a matter of a few overs creates the momentum for a high-scoring match, and MI, five-time winners of the IPL, have been perfecting this art over time.

Let’s take a look at the fastest team 50s by MI in IPL history, showcasing their aggressive intent at the top.

3. 3.5 overs vs Gujarat Titans (Mullanpur, 2025)

In a must-win IPL 2025 playoff Eliminator held at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, Mumbai showed their class by bringing up 50 runs in just 3.5 overs against Gujarat Titans.

With Jonny Bairstow and Rohit Sharma in brutal form, MI signalled their intent early. That fierce opening blitz not only shook the GT bowlers but also provided MI with humongous momentum in a high-pressure match.

3. 3.5 overs vs Rajasthan Royals (Wankhede, 2014)

In one of the most iconic games in the history of IPL, MI sprinted to their 50 in 3.5 overs vs Rajasthan Royals in 2014 at Wankhede.

This was the game where MI needed to chase 190 runs in 14.4 overs to make it to the playoffs, and they did it in style. Corey Anderson played a blinder knock of 95* off 44 balls, but the early fireworks laid the perfect foundation for one of the most iconic chases in league history.

3. 3.5 overs vs Punjab Kings (Indore, 2017)

In a run-fest at Holkar Stadium in Indore in 2017, Mumbai Indians scored 50 runs in a mere 3.5 overs against Punjab Kings.

The small boundaries and flat pitch aided the openers, Jos Buttler and Parthiv Patel, who wasted no time in punishing anything off-line or short. MI would eventually go on to chase a mammoth target of 199 runs with ease in 15.3 overs, thanks to this flying start.

2. 3.4 overs vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (Abu Dhabi, 2021)

In the 2021 season played under COVID-19 restrictions in the UAE, MI once again torched the Sunrisers’ bowling unit, this time in Abu Dhabi.

They raced to 50 runs in only 3.4 overs, with Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan opening the attack. The game is most famous for MI's serious effort to improve their Net Run Rate and it was quite apparent through their aggressive approach from the very first delivery.

2. 3.4 overs vs Delhi Capitals (Wankhede, 2018)

At their fortress, Wankhede Stadium, in 2018, Mumbai scored 50 runs within 3.4 overs against Delhi Capitals.

It was a classic MI powerplay takedown, headed by Evin Lewis and Suryakumar Yadav. The duo capitalised on the true bounce and short boundaries of Wankhede, taking apart the DC bowling attack and setting the tone for a high-scoring match.

1. 2.6 overs vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (Hyderabad, 2024)

In what remains MI’s fastest-ever team fifty, they blazed to the mark in just 2.6 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2024.The game took place at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.

With Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma going full throttle, Sunrisers' bowlers were left in tatters. Kishan, in particular, was in a destructive mood, hammering boundaries and sixes from the word go. However, despite the fiery start, MI were unable to chase the mighty target of 278 runs.
