[WATCH] IPL 2025: Ryan Rickelton hits back-to-back sixes vs Dushmantha Chameera

On May 21, the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the five-time champion Mumbai Indians (MI) faced off at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Faf du Plessis, DC’s substitute captain, chose to field first after winning the toss. Interestingly, du Plessis replaced Axar Patel, who was unwell and missed the match.

Dhushmantha Chammera, a right-arm bowler, delivered the second over of the powerplay against Ryan Rickelton, the opener for the Mumbai Indians.

Rickelton, who is left-handed, stood tall and hit the opening six of the match over his head when the Sri Lankan pacer delivered at a fuller length on the third ball of his over.

Chameera pitched the ball outside off on the very next ball, pulling the length back a little. Long off, though, the Proteas hitter smoked the ball for yet another maximum. The over ultimately went for 15 runs.
