Ryan Rickelton’s explosive innings on April 29, 2026 not only set a new record for the fastest century for Mumbai Indians but also marked the highest individual score in the franchise’s history. He scored an unbeaten 123 runs off 53 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium.
Rickelton achieved his century in just 44 balls, breaking Sanath Jayasuriya’s long-standing record. His innings included 10 boundaries and 8 sixes, showcasing his dominance throughout the match.
The innings helped Mumbai Indians post a total of 243/5. Rickelton shared a vital 93-run opening stand with Will Jacks, setting the tone for a commanding performance. He had previously come into the side to replace the injured Quinton de Kock.
This remarkable feat comes after Rickelton narrowly missed out on a century by just 19 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders a month prior. He had already made headlines with two centuries in the SA20 league earlier this year.
Rickelton’s performance not only highlights his skill but also reflects Mumbai Indians’ strong position in IPL 2026. Observers expect him to continue this form as the tournament progresses.
