The southpaw surpassed the 45-ball mark of Sanath Jayasuriya, another left-handed top-order batter. Former Sri Lanka opener Jayasuriya had set the record in the inaugural season of 2008 against Chennai Super Kings.
Rickelton bettered it while opening the MI batting alongside Will Jacks. While Jacks fell for a 22-ball 46, the Proteas wicketkeeper capitalized on his extraordinary start. He cracked nine fours and seven sixes en route his ton.
Earlier, MI captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bat first against SRH. Mumbai made two changes to their playing XI: Ryan Rickelton came in place of fellow South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock, while Robin Minz also donned the MI jersey for the game.
