He started the innings well and stitched a quickfire 94-run opening partnership with Alex Hales, who also hit a fine fifty. While Hales departed after a rapid start, Fletcher continued his assault with the willow and formed vital stands with Sherfane Rutherford (49) and Rovman Powell (7) for the second and third wickets, respectively.

Eventually, the 37-year-old completed his century in a mere 52 balls and provided an ideal finish by hitting 17 runs in the final over before getting dismissed on the last delivery. This knock was all about brute power, a reminder from the veteran batter about his superior T20 skills.

Andre Fletcher might garner shock interest in the IPL 2026 auction

Andre Fletcher has played almost every T20 league around the world, but has yet to get IPL experience despite being prolific over the years. He has never been part of any franchise, but that can change this time in the IPL 2026 auction.

ALSO READ:

Fletcher has been in decent form in the ongoing MLC 2025, and his latest century was his second of the season, with the previous one against Washington Freedom in Dallas. Overall, he has 289 runs at an average of 41.28 and a 158.79 strike rate in seven outings, including two centuries.

A few IPL teams require wicketkeeper-batters, including Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and Fletcher might earn a bid in the upcoming auction. He is already playing for the sister franchise of KKR, and the owners might show some interest in him since they are likely to release Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

Mumbai Indians (MI) are another team who are looking for Ryan Rickelton’s backup, and Fletcher plays for one of their franchises – MI Emirates – in the International League T20 (ILT20). Even the Gujarat Titans (GT) might want a cover for Jos Buttler in case he doesn’t play due to injury concerns or international commitments.
