Mumbai Indians may have found their most destructive opening combination since the glory days of the franchise. On a run-fest at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, opener Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton scripted yet another record partnership to put Mumbai in complete control against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026.
Ryan Rickelton's explosive 123 off 62 balls powered Mumbai Indians to 243/5 in their IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head then combined for a 129-run opening partnership, the sixth century stand of their career, matching the record for most opening century partnerships in IPL history. Abhishek departed for 45 and Head for 76 as SRH pursued the massive target.
Emilio Gay and David Bedingham scored unbeaten centuries in a record-breaking 290-run third-wicket partnership as Durham successfully chased 336 to beat Lancashire by eight wickets in their County Championship Division Two match. The partnership is Durham's highest third-wicket stand against Lancashire.
