Kuldeep Yadav removes well-set Ryan Rickelton for 25 to bag his 100th IPL scalp in MI vs DC 2025 match [Watch]

Delhi Capitals (DC)’s ace spinner Kuldeep Yadav completed his 100th wicket in IPL by dismissing Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Ryan Rickelton at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, May 21. The left-arm wrist-spinner got rid of Rickelton for 25 runs off 18 balls as MI lost their third wicket for 58.

The dismissal came in the seventh over of Mumbai’s innings. Kuldeep bowled a full-length ball down the leg side to woo Rickelton into a big shot. The idea worked as the left-hander went down one leg for a slog sweep but failed to connect properly. All he managed was to hole it to Madhav Tiwari at deep square leg.

With the wicket, Kuldeep bagged his 100th IPL wicket in 97 matches.
