The achievement came in the 41st match of the tournament, held at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where Mumbai Indians faced off against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Rickelton delivered an unbeaten knock of 123 runs off just 55 balls, reaching his century in a blistering 44 deliveries. This outstanding performance surpassed the long-standing record set by Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya, who had scored a 45-ball century for Mumbai Indians during the inaugural IPL season in 2008.
Rickelton’s innings not only powered his team to a commanding position but also marked a historic moment in the franchise’s journey, breaking an 18-year-old record and showcasing the evolving pace of modern T20 cricket.
