Mumbai Indians( MI ) have signed South African wicketkeeper-batsman Ryan Rickelton for his base price of ₹1 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction. This marks Rickelton’s first stint in the IPL, offering him an opportunity to showcase his talent on one of cricket’s biggest stages.

Although yet to play in the IPL, Rickelton has been making waves in domestic cricket. In the 2021-22 first-class season in South Africa, he finished as the third-highest run-scorer, earning him a Test debut in April 2022. His stint with Northamptonshire in county cricket was equally impressive, with two centuries and four half-centuries in just four matches.

Rickelton’s form extended to white-ball cricket, where he topped the run charts in the 2022-23 List A domestic tournament. Earlier this year, he proved his T20 prowess by finishing as the leading run-scorer in the SA20 and the second-highest in South Africa’s domestic T20 Challenge for the 2023-24 season.

With 2709 runs in 106 T20s, including a century and 17 half-centuries, Rickelton brings consistency and firepower to Mumbai Indians, adding depth to their already strong batting lineup.
