The wicketkeeper-batter opened up about his reaction while watching it from the non-striker's end.
Mumbai Indians Proteas recruit Ryan Rickelton put up an exemplary batting display during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) tonight (March 31).
The wicketkeeper-batter remained unbeaten on 62*(41) to see the five-time winners over the finishing line. During the chase, Rickelton was joined by Suryakumar Yadav in the middle, who got off the mark in style with his trademark ‘Supla ‘ shot for a maximum. The outrageous stroke left everyone mesmerised, including Ryan.
When quizzed about his reaction to SKY’s shot while watching from the non-striker’s end, Rickelton said during the post-match presentation,
“I just said to Quinny that SKY is a joke, stuff that I can’t do, stuff that I can’t dream of. He has played that shot many a time, I’m not going to try it but I’m glad that he is in our team.”
