Ryan Rickelton Smashes Fastest Century in Mumbai Indians History Against SRH
Mumbai Indians opener Ryan Rickelton recorded the highest individual score and the fastest century in the franchise’s history during their IPL 2026 matchup against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Playing at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, the left-handed batter finished unbeaten on 123 off 55 deliveries to lead Mumbai to a commanding first-innings total of 243 for 5.
Breaking the Franchise Record
Rickelton reached the 100-run mark in 44 balls, eclipsing the previous Mumbai Indians record of 45 balls held jointly by Sanath Jayasuriya (2008) and Tilak Varma (2026). His final score of 123 not out surpassed Jayasuriya’s 114 not out against the Chennai Super Kings from the inaugural Indian Premier League season.
Stepping into the starting lineup for the injured Quinton de Kock, Rickelton established an immediate rhythm. He anchored a 93-run opening partnership with Will Jacks inside the first seven overs. Following a cluster of quick dismissals, Rickelton maintained the scoring rate alongside Naman Dhir, executing eight sixes and 10 fours throughout the innings.
