Virat Kohli was spotted completely glued to the screen as Urvil Patel delivered one of the most breathtaking knocks in IPL history. The RCB superstar, watching from the dugout ahead of Bengaluru's clash against Mumbai Indians in Raipur, couldn't take his eyes off the carnage unfolding at Chepauk.

Patel's innings for Chennai Super Kings against Lucknow Super Giants was nothing short of explosive. The CSK batter smashed the joint-fastest fifty in IPL history, racing to the landmark in just 13 balls and equalling Yashasvi Jaiswal's iconic record from 2023. But the real jaw-dropper came in the first eight balls of his innings—he smashed six sixes, a new IPL record for the most sixes in the opening eight balls of an innings.

The mayhem started early. After Sanju Samson fell for a rapid 28, Patel walked in and changed the game within minutes. He hammered Avesh Khan for three consecutive sixes before tearing apart Digvesh Singh Rathi with another brutal over filled with boundaries and towering maximums. By the time the powerplay ended, LSG were completely under pressure. Patel stormed to 41 not out off just eight deliveries, setting a new IPL record for the highest score after the first eight balls of an innings.

He eventually blasted 65 off only 23 balls, smashing eight sixes and two fours before falling to Shahbaz Ahmed. One of the most emotional moments of the evening came immediately after Patel reached his fifty. The youngster pulled out a note from his pocket with the message: "This is for you, Papa," dedicating the milestone to his father.

While Patel's innings stole the headlines, Chennai still had work left in the chase after a late fightback from LSG. Ruturaj Gaikwad anchored the innings with 42 before Shivam Dube finished the match in style with two sixes in the final over as CSK secured a five-wicket win with four balls to spare. The victory capped off a memorable night that saw a new IPL record, an emotional tribute, and a superstar's undivided attention from the dugout.
