No. It has a Lightning port rather than a USB-C port and doesn't support fast charging. Also see the following excerpt from Charge and connect with the USB-C port on your iPad - Apple Support


Charge your iPad


To charge your iPad, connect the included USB-C cable to the device's USB-C port and to a compatible power adapter. Then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.


If you have a higher-wattage USB-C power adapter—such as the one that came with your Mac laptop—you can use it with your iPad for faster charging. You can also charge your iPad by connecting it to the USB-C port on your computer.
