Ryan Rickelton Makes Full Use Of De Kock's Injury
It has been a very interesting season for Ryan Rickelton. The southpaw was MI's preferred opener and started the IPL 2026 ahead of Quinton de Kock. The 29-year-old got off to a decent start in the first five matches, but his inconsistency forced MI to bring de Kock in the team.
Now, unfortunately for him, De Kock slammed a century on the first match he played in the season. As a result, MI continued with the southpaw. Now, for the ongoing match, De Kock suffered an injury, forcing Rickelton's return. Now, MI again have a happy headache as Rickelton's century will force the management to stick with him.
