Five memorable ODI hundreds from Indians in unsuccessful run chases

#2 Sachin Tendulkar: 175 vs Australia, 2009

Australia toured India for seven-match ODI series in 2009. It was the fifth match of the series; both teams had won two each out of the first four games. At Hyderabad, winning the toss, Australia came to bat first and posted a mammoth 350/4 in 50 overs. Shaun Marsh shone with a sparkling 112 in as many balls. Shane Watson and Cameron White chipped in with 93 and 57 respectively.

Sachin Tendulkar spell bounded Hyderabad crowd with a masterpiece

India had a stern test to clear, and an opening partnership was just as needed with Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag adding 66 runs in less than 9 overs. Some quick wickets and India were in trouble with 162 for the loss of four important wickets.

From there, Tendulkar added 137 runs with Suresh Raina. India was looking well set to chase the target down, but it could not happen.

When Sachin got out as the 7th wicket, India just needed 19 runs off 17 balls with Ravindra Jadeja on the crease. Eventually, India lost the match by 3 runs, and an astonishing effort from Little Master was left unaccomplished.
