IPL 2026: Travishek, Klaasen outmuscle MI as SRH chase 244 for fifth straight win

Ryan Rickelton played one of the innings of IPL 2026, an unbeaten 123 off 55 balls, the highest-ever score by a Mumbai Indians batter in the tournament’s history.

But it still wasn’t enough against the batting might of Sunrisers Hyderabad in another run-fest at Wankhede Stadium. MI went against the grain and batted first for the first time in 22 games at Wankhede Stadium.

Led by Rickelton’s sensational ton, they amassed 243 for 5, their highest first-innings score in the IPL. SRH hardly broke a sweat in chasing it down by six wickets and eight balls to spare.

Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head added 129 runs for the opening wicket, with 92 coming in the powerplay. Heinrich Klaasen thrashed an unbeaten 65 off 30, while Salil Arora smoked 30 not out off ten balls to hand SRH the fourth-highest successful chase in the IPL and their fifth straight win of the season.
