Rickelton’s hundred was a perfect blend of class and calmness. The milestone came in the 46th over when he glanced a full delivery from Salman Agha down the leg side to the fine leg boundary. The crowd erupted with joy as Rickelton reached the three-figure mark on his home ground.
He removed his helmet, raised his bat, and acknowledged the standing ovation from the Newlands crowd. His skipper, Temba Bavuma, greeted him with a warm hug, making the moment even more special.
Rickelton’s innings wasn’t just about scoring runs; it was about how he batted. He showed exceptional discipline, leaving deliveries outside the off-stump, playing straight when required, and stepping out confidently when needed.
