[WATCH] Ryan Rickelton Blasts Fastest IPL Century For Mumbai Indians Against SRH

Ryan Rickelton recorded the fastest century in Mumbai Indians’ IPL history, surpassing the previous 45-ball tons by Tilak Varma (2023) and Sanath Jayasuriya (2008). He achieved the milestone in just 44 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium.

Rickelton dominated from the outset, putting together a 93-run opening stand with Will Jacks. Even as wickets fell at the other end, his aggressive approach remained unchanged. After reaching his hundred, he celebrated in Chris Gayle style—placing his helmet on the bat before raising it.

He eventually remained unbeaten on 123 off 55 balls, which also stands as the highest individual score by a Mumbai Indians batter in IPL history. Watch the video here:

MI Register 243 in First Innings

Riding on Rickelton’s explosive knock, Mumbai posted a massive 243 in the first innings. After Naman Dhir was dismissed for 22, Hardik Pandya joined Rickelton and made an impactful contribution. The MI skipper scored a quick 31 off 15 balls, maintaining the momentum at a stage when the scoring rate had dipped slightly as Rickelton showed signs of fatigue.

Following Pandya’s departure, the wicketkeeper-batter regained control and finished strongly, guiding Mumbai to their highest-ever total at the Wankhede Stadium. Hyderabad now require a solid start in the chase.

Travis Head, who has struggled for form recently, will be key to providing that start, while Abhishek Sharma will look to continue his impressive run. Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen will also need to shoulder significant responsibility in the chase.
