IPL 2026, Ryan Rickelton: The performance of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 has not been as per expectations. The team failed to achieve consistency throughout the season and this was the reason why Mumbai was out of the playoff race prematurely. There were ups and downs in both the batting and bowling departments, but the most talked about was the performance of the team’s young batsman Ryan Rickleton. Who have been a complete flop while playing outside the house.

Even against KKR at Eden Gardens against Kolkata, Ryan Rickleton failed to play a big innings. Facing 7 balls, he scored only 6 runs and quickly returned to the pavilion. This was not the first time that he was seen struggling on the outside field. His statistics throughout the season clearly show that there has been a world of difference between his performance at home and opposition grounds.

Rickleton’s bat has spoken strongly in Wankhede Stadium. He has scored 326 runs in 5 matches played at home and his average has been 81.50. His confidence, shot selection and aggressive style in these innings were worth seeing. But as soon as the team started playing away from home, their performance faded. In away matches, Rickleton has scored only 110 runs in 6 innings, where his average has been only 18.33. Many times he was seen getting a good start but could not convert it into a big innings.

Most runs for MI

Ryan Rickleton has played a total of 11 matches for the Mumbai team this season. During this period, he has scored 436 runs at an average of 43.60, which also includes 1 century. He has scored these runs at a strike rate of 187.12 and is also the batsman who has scored the most runs for his team. But due to lack of consistency, he has not proved to be a big match winner.
