Ryan Rickelton on opening the batting with Rohit Sharma: ‘He’s built different’ | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: May 5, 2026 08:38 AM IST Mumbai Indians hadn’t won since April 20, and their last home victory came on April 29. With defeats piling up, Monday’s clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had begun to feel like a must-win for their playoff hopes. It didn’t start well. The bowlers conceded 228, leaving a daunting chase. The Wankhede waited for Rohit Sharma to take charge, but it was Ryan Rickelton who seized the moment. The left-hander, MI’s most consistent batter this season, hammered 83 off 32 balls to drive the chase and claim the Player of the Match award. After the game, Rickelton reflected on what it’s like to open alongside Rohit. “He’s just built different. Like I said, he’s one of the greatest to play the game. And it’s never always life-changing advice that you hear — it’s stuff that you’ve heard through different paths and closures as you kind of work your way through the game. It’s just more how he manages pressure, how he stays calm and how he …

Are Mumbai Indians peaking at the right time?

Are Mumbai Indians peaking at the right time?

Published by Webster

It was an evening where Mumbai Indians’ optimism would have grown many folds. After enduring a poor start to the season, they now appear to know which is their best-balanced first XI. If the IPL is about peaking at the right time, then MI seem to have cracked the code with an all-round effort. Bumrah on the money With Mitchell Santner missing the game with an injury, Will Jacks, an all-rounder delivered the crushing blows to LSG with his off-spin. Nicholas Pooran is always looking for the big shot. During his 15-ball stay, Pooran had a couple of close shaves. The innocuous delivery from Jacks would have ended up at the boundary ropes on any other day. Instead, as the southpaw went aerial, Suryakumar Yadav pouched it at long-off. Off the next ball, Rishabh Pant hit a boundary but off the next delivery he would press the self-destruction button once again by going for a reverse-sweep that lobbed up in slow-mo to Karn Sharma at fine-leg. Those two key wickets in the space of three …

SYNOPSIS: Hardik Pandya’s heroics go in vain as LSG overcome Mumbai Indians’ middle-order fight to pull off 12-run win. Sometimes it doesn’t take too much to put even the elite T20 bats under immense pressure. In a game that seemed to slip away from Lucknow Super Giants, Tilak Varma’s retired-out sacrifice in the 19th over of a slog-fest ensured that Mumbai Indians’ vaunted batting order was feeling the heat enough to stir up a win after being put in to bat first. Indeed, it took Shardul Thakur to re-enter ‘Lord’ mode in the 49th over to stub the contest, pushing the 201-run target a little past even an imperious Hardik Pandya. In a sequence loaded with low full-tosses, the propers and one in the blockhole, Thakur’s unfailing accuracy prompted MI to even nervously retire Tilak out on 25 (off 23), strangely offering Hardik a depleted bat in Mitchell Santner at the other end before the final over. Playing catch-up from the outset after openers Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks fell in the space of four …

IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians finish bottom of the table despite Rohit Sharma’s last day, last show | Ipl News

Last day, last show Mumbaikars got what they were waiting for. A bit of rain to ease the sweltering heat and an entertaining Rohit Sharma knock. While rain delayed play for 45 minutes on Friday night, Rohit’s knock of 38-ball 68, which included three huge sixes seemed to enthrall the crowd who’ve had very little to cheer about his season. After the initial blazing knocks, Rohit’s form tapered off though. His 68 on Friday showed what he’s capable of doing and though it was too late, it will hold him in good stead going into the T20 World Cup. Wankhede were enthralled 🙌 Rohit Sharma hit 68(38) 💪 Watch 🔽 #TATAIPL | #MIvLSG — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) May 17, 2024 No power in KL Rahul’s play Lucknow Super Giants needed to beat Mumbai by a gargantuan margin to be in the race for a playoff spot mathematically. Their skipper KL Rahul has been under fire off late for not playing the ‘blazing’ T20 style cricket. It seemed he failed to get the memo again. At the …

Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL Match Today: Struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) will be looking to end their terrible season with a win at their home in Wankhede when they will lock horns against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday. While Mumbai Indians were knocked out of the playoffs race long ago, Lucknow Super Giant’s chances of making the last-four are extremely bleak even if they win their last IPL game here by a huge margin.

Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2024 Live Streaming: The Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants will face each other in an inconsequential match in the Indian Premier League on Friday. MI were the first team to be knocked out of the tournament while LSG’s bleak chances of qualifying were dented after they lost by huge margins to KKR and SRH and then to DC. For the MI, their Indian players who have been selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup, will be hoping for a good outing against the laggards LSG with Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya in less than stellar form with Suryakumar Yadav blowing hot and cold. The only consistent one in the group of India players heading to the T20 World Cup is Jasprit Bumrah who has taken 20 wickets from 13 matches. LSG, meanwhile, have been mired with controversy since owner’s Sanjeev Goenka’s apparent outburst against KL Rahul was caught on camera after their heavy 10-wocket defeat against Hyderabad. With the team’s morale way down, LSG combusted against the Delhi …
