Rohit Sharma becomes first player to create unwanted record despite scoring century in MI vs CSK clash

Rohit Sharma smashed a century in Mumbai Indians' clash against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium

The former MI skipper played a lone hand in MI's run-chase of 207 as none of the other batters managed to touch even 40

Rohit scored 105 from 63 balls, laced with five sixes and 11 fours, but could not take the team over the line as MI lost by 20 runs

However, Rohit has become the first player in IPL history to register a never-before-seen record

The MI opener has become the only player to score an unbeaten century in a failed run-chase

He is the third player to hit a ton in unsuccessful run-chases but is the only player to remain unbeaten while ending on the losing side on this metric

Before him, Sanju Samson (119 from 63 balls) and Yusuf Pathan (100 from 37 balls) made tons while ending on the losing side of a run-chase. But they lost their wickets after the ton

This was Rohit's second hundred in IPL, the first came 12 years ago in 2012 vs KKR

Rohit has become the fifth oldest player to hit a ton in the Indian cash-rich league at 36 years and 350 days old
