In the end Rickeltonโs heroics wasnโt enough to secure victory, as compatriot Davey Klaasenโs unbeaten 65 off just 30 balls was enough to see Sunrisers Hyderabad chase down the 244 target with eight balls to spare.
Rickelton, though, was in record-breaking form for his franchise.
His maiden IPL century came in just 44 balls, the fastest for Mumbai, beating the previous mark held by by Jayasuriya and Tilak Varma by a single delivery.

It was a breathtaking display of power and precision, featuring 10 fours and eight sixes.
Despite the defeat which left Mumbai rooted near the bottom of the IPL standings, Rickeltonโs form remains a major positive.
Since December 2025, he has scored three T20 centuries, all in Mumbai Indian colours.
