MI vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2026: Ryan Rickelton's ton goes in vain as Head, Klaasen power SRH to six-wicket win over MI
MI vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2026: Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off a stunning six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians, chasing down a massive 244-run target in just 18.4 overs. The chase was powered by explosive knocks from Travis Head (76), Abhishek Sharma (45), and Heinrich Klaasen (65)*, who ensured SRH maintained control despite a brief middle-order wobble.
SRH got off to a flying start, racing to 92/0 in the powerplay, with Head smashing a 20-ball fifty. Mumbai briefly fought back through Ghazanfar and Hardik Pandya, but Klaasen’s aggressive finish sealed the chase comfortably.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians had posted a formidable 243/5, led by Ryan Rickelton’s unbeaten 123, the fastest century for MI, and Will Jacks’ 46. However, their bowlers failed to contain SRH’s relentless batting, as the visitors completed one of the most remarkable chases of IPL 2026.

IPL Live: Mumbai Indians feeling the absence of Rohit Sharma?
Rohit Sharma’s absence has been deeply felt in what has been a stop-start campaign for Mumbai Indians. At the halfway stage, their fate is still in their own hands, with seven matches left and 14 points still up for grabs, but their performances so far have left little margin for error.
MI have been hot and cold this season, more cold than hot. Their struggles are laid bare in the numbers, and Rohit’s absence has only amplified the problem. They have scored just 1173 runs, the lowest among all teams, while their Powerplay returns of 366 are also the poorest in the league. Without Rohit at the top to provide stability or early momentum, the batting unit has repeatedly failed to set the tone.
The inconsistency extends across the lineup. Tilak Varma, their highest run-getter, is still outside the top bracket of the tournament’s leading scorers. Suryakumar Yadav, who dominated last season, has struggled to find rhythm, while Hardik Pandya and Sherfane Rutherford have also endured lean patches.

IPL Live Score: Will Rohit Sharma play vs SRH tonight?
Rohit Sharma’s availability remains the biggest talking point ahead of Mumbai Indians’ crucial clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, with the veteran opener still not fully cleared after his hamstring injury.
Rohit, who has been sidelined since April 12, continues to be a doubtful starter for the Wankhede encounter. While there has been some encouragement with the former captain batting extensively in the nets, the team management is unlikely to take any risks unless he is fully fit.

MI vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2026: Back to the walls, Will Mumbai Indians come out firing?
Mumbai Indians have built a reputation for slow starts followed by dramatic comebacks. They reached the playoffs in 2014 after losing their first five matches and won the title in 2015 despite just one win in their opening five. IPL 2026, however, has shown little sign of a similar revival.
At the halfway stage, MI are in trouble with five defeats in seven games. While a turnaround remains mathematically possible, their performances have lacked consistency and conviction. Their latest outing, a 103-run defeat to Chennai Super Kings, was their heaviest loss in IPL history and underlined their struggles.
There are issues across departments. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, the bowling unit has been expensive, while the batting has failed to click collectively. Centuries from Quinton de Kock and Tilak Varma are the only major positives. Suryakumar Yadav has struggled for rhythm, and captain Hardik Pandya has yet to make a sustained impact with both bat and ball.
In contrast, Sunrisers Hyderabad arrive with momentum. After losing three of their first four matches, they have surged back with four straight wins and now look settled.
The return of Pat Cummins has strengthened their attack, while Eshan Malinga and Sakib Hussain have added depth. With form on their side, SRH will be confident of challenging MI’s record in this fixture.
Rohit Sharma remains a doubt after missing the last three matches with a hamstring injury. He has resumed training and is progressing well, but a final call will be taken on match day.
In team news, MI have signed South African spinner Keshav Maharaj as a replacement for Mitchell Santner and could consider Will Jacks as a match-up option against SRH’s left-handers.

SRH vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: Mumbai seek revival as they take on Hyderabad
Staring down the barrel in yet another testing IPL season, the Mumbai Indians find themselves in near must-win territory when they take on an on-song Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday night.
With five defeats from their first seven matches, MI are languishing ninth on the table with just four points and an abysmal net run-rate of -0.736. Another setback could all but extinguish their playoff hopes, and that, with almost half the tournament still to be played, underlines just how dire the situation is for the five-time champions.
The sense of alarm deepened after MI’s previous outing at the Wankhede, where they suffered their heaviest defeat, by 103 runs vs arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings. In the immediate aftermath, the Hardik Pandya-led squad headed to Jamnagar for a brief two-day break, hoping space away from the spotlight would help arrest the slide.
Compounding MI’s uncertainty is the question mark over Rohit Sharma’s availability. The former India captain has missed the last three matches with a hamstring injury and remains a doubtful starter. “Rohit continues to progress. Any call on his availability will be taken at the toss tomorrow,” an MI spokesperson said at the pre-match press conference.
While Rohit trained on Sunday after the team’s return from Jamnagar, he missed nets on Monday and chose to train late on Tuesday. In his absence, MI handed an IPL debut to Vidarbha batter Danish Malewar, but scores of 0 and 2 from the 22-year-old only underlined the void at the top.
Form, though, hasn’t been MI’s only concern. On Monday, New Zealand left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner was ruled out of IPL-2026 with a left shoulder injury. Santner, who took 10 wickets last season, has been replaced by South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj, but MI may need to look beyond like-for-like swaps. England allrounder Will Jacks remains an option yet to be fully explored.
Batting at No.7 and offering useful off-spin, Jacks was one of the standout performers of the 2026 T20 World Cup in India, winning four Playerof-the-Match awards. However, his late arrival has complicated MI’s planning.

MI vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2026: A fearless batting display from Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to a sensational six-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians, chasing down a massive target of 244 in Match 41 of IPL 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium.
What initially appeared to be a daunting chase quickly turned into a masterclass in aggressive T20 batting.
SRH came out all guns blazing. Abhishek Sharma wasted no time, taking on Trent Boult and even smashing a six off Jasprit Bumrah early on. Travis Head joined the onslaught, tearing into Boult with a flurry of boundaries, including a slice over backward point that resulted in a six.
The duo raced to 43/0 in just three overs, maintaining relentless pressure. Mumbai’s attempt to introduce spin backfired, as the openers hammered Will Jacks for 19 runs in an over.
By the end of the powerplay, SRH had surged to a staggering 92/0, one of the highest totals conceded by Mumbai Indians in that phase.
Head was particularly destructive, bringing up a 20-ball half-century, while Abhishek kept pace with fluent strokeplay. At one stage, SRH were scoring at nearly 16 runs per over, with the chase firmly under control.
However, Mumbai briefly fought back when AM Ghazanfar struck twice in two balls, removing Abhishek (45) and Ishan Kishan (0). Hardik Pandya then dismissed Head (76), giving MI a glimmer of hope.
That hope was short-lived as Heinrich Klaasen took over. The South African batter launched a brutal counterattack, smashing boundaries at will and reaching a 22-ball fifty.
He remained unbeaten on 65, guiding SRH home comfortably, with Salil Arora (14 off 6)* applying the finishing touches as Hyderabad completed the chase in 18.4 overs.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians had posted a formidable 243/5, powered by a sensational 123 from Ryan Rickelton* and a rapid start from Will Jacks (46 off 22).
The opening pair laid a strong foundation, taking MI to 78/0 in the powerplay. Rickelton continued to dominate, reaching a 44-ball century, the fastest ever by a Mumbai Indians batter.
Despite contributions from Hardik Pandya (31 off 15), MI’s massive total proved insufficient against SRH’s relentless batting.
Mumbai Indians: 243/5 (Rickelton 123*, Jacks 46)
Sunrisers Hyderabad: 249/4 (Head 76, Klaasen 65*)
Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 6 wickets
