Having missed Mumbai's last five games due to a hamstring injury, Rohit scored a sublime 84 off 44 balls while Rickelton slammed eight sixes and six fours in his destructive 83 off 32 balls as MI cruised to their 229-run target in 18.4 overs for a six-wicket win.
Lucknow had posted their season-high total of 228 for 5 with Nicholas Pooran (63 off 21) finally scoring his first half-century of the campaign, and his first fifty in 18 T20 games. But Mumbai came back strong in the final three overs and allowed the Super Giants just one boundary to limit what could have been a 250-plus total.
Rohit and Rickelton’s standout opening partnership of 143 runs off 65 balls set the tone for Mumbai’s third win of the season, before both missed out on hundreds. Rickelton was caught in the covers off fast bowler Mohsin Khan and the former India captain fell to fellow impact substitute Manimaran Siddharth in the 14th over to a mistimed swipe over fine leg.
Suryakumar Yadav, who captained MI in the absence of an unwell Hardik Pandya, continued to struggle for runs and was dismissed for a 7-ball 12. Naman Dhir and Will Jacks carried Mumbai home.
MI stayed in ninth place with six points, while LSG remained 10th and last and were knocked out of playoffs contention.
