MI vs CSK: The biggest blockbuster match in IPL history. The match of MI vs CSK 2024 season was played yesterday on Sunday at Wankhede ground. In this match, CSK defeated Mumbai by 20 runs and achieved its fourth win of the season. Money was collected from the fans in this match. After Mahi's hat-trick of sixes, Mumbai's star batsman and former captain Rohit Sharma also scored a century but the home team could not win. In this match, Chennai batted first and gave Mumbai a target of 207 runs to win. Chasing this score, Mumbai made a great start and could score only 186 runs in 20 overs, but the entire team collapsed on the basis of Rohit Sharma's unbeaten inning of 105 runs. However, with this innings of Rohit on his home ground, the hitman has joined the exclusive club of Sachin Tendulkar.
After Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma has become the second oldest Indian to score a century in IPL. Sachin scored his only century in IPL in 2011 against Kochi Tuskers Kerala. At that time Sachin's age was 37 years 356 days. Rohit Sharma scored this century against Chennai Super Kings yesterday at the age of 36 years 350 days.
These two stalwarts of the Mumbai team had a total of 3 centuries in their names. Let's take a look at this-
– Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma scored this century while playing for Mumbai Indians.
-Both scored this century at Wankhede Stadium.
-Both these centuries came in a losing match for Mumbai Indians.
Although this is the third disgusting record, Rohit Sharma has also made many similar unwanted records in his name with the century. Let us know about these also-
Rohit Sharma also became the third player of the team to miss a century in the run chase. Earlier, Yusuf Pathan and Sanju Samson scored centuries for the losing team despite scoring centuries.
Defeat despite century in run chase in IPL:
- Yusuf Pathan 100 (37), RR vs MI, Brabourne 2010
- Sanju Samson 119(63), RR vs PBKS, Wankhede 2021
- Rohit Sharma 105* (63), MI vs CSK, Wankhede 2024
Thus, Rohit has recorded the best score in an unsuccessful run chase by remaining unbeaten in the history of IPL. This is the first time in the history of IPL that a batsman scored a century in an unsuccessful run chase and remained unbeaten.
Another bad record associated with Rohit is that this is the first time in Sharma's IPL career that he has remained unbeaten while chasing the target and the team has lost. Before this match, Rohit remained not out 18 times while chasing the target and every time his team won.
Highest score not out in a failed run chase in IPL:
- 105* (63) – Rohit Sharma, MI vs CSK, 2024
- 95* (70) – KL Rahul, PBKS vs RR, 2018
- 94* (55) – Naman Ojha, RR vs CSK, 2010
- 92* (62) – Virat Kohli, RCB vs MI, 2018
- 89* (44)- David Miller, PBKS vs SRH, 2015
With this century, Rohit Sharma became the second player after Jayasuriya to cross the 100-run mark against Chennai. This explosive Sri Lankan batsman also scored a century for Mumbai against Chennai in 2008.
