MI vs SRH IPL 2026: Ryan Rickleton made history, dismantling Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowlers in Mumbai. The Protea wicket-keeper batter not only smashed his maiden IPL century but also set the record for the highest individual score as a Mumbai Indians batter.
Rickleton, opening with Will Jacks, reached his hundred in just 44 balls. After amassing 119 runs by launching a six off Praful Hinge, he surpassed the previous best MI score set by Sanath Jayasuriya. The Sri Lankan had blasted an unbeaten 114 against the Chennai franchise during IPL 2008 at Wankhede Stadium.
