Rickelton scores 123*, MI's highest IPL individual mark

Mumbai Indians opener Ryan Rickelton smashed an unbeaten 123 off 55 balls, including 10 fours and eight sixes, to record the highest individual score by a Mumbai Indians batter and the fastest century for the franchise in Indian Premier League history during their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium on April 29, 2026.

The South African wicketkeeper-batter, replacing the injured Quinton de Kock, reached his maiden IPL hundred in just 44 balls, surpassing Sanath Jayasuriya's previous Mumbai Indians record of 45 balls set against Chennai Super Kings at the same venue in 2008. Rickelton anchored the innings as Mumbai Indians posted 243 for five, their highest total of the season on a batting-friendly pitch after opting to bat first.

Opening alongside Will Jacks, who scored 46 off 22 balls with three sixes and five fours, Rickelton provided the aggressive platform Mumbai Indians had lacked in recent games. The pair raced to 78 runs in the powerplay and added 93 for the first wicket in just over seven overs. Rickelton set the tone early with a towering six off Praful Hinge in the second over, reaching his half-century in 23 balls and the next 50 in 21 more.
