9. Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals (Brabourne Stadium – March 2010, IPL Season 3) – 420 runs
The second match of the third IPL season saw 420 runs being scored by both teams; yet, it was MI who finished on the winner’s podium.
Skipper Sachin Tendulkar opted to bat first, and his side were soon reeling at 70/3 in the seventh over. Jharkhand lad Saurabh Tiwary then combined with the energetic Ambati Rayudu for a 110-run stand, both scoring half-centuries as the side cruised to 218 in 20 overs.
In reply, the maverick Yusuf Pathan slammed a belligerent century in just 37 balls – he simply went berserk on the Mumbai bowlers (with the exception of the injured Harbhajan Singh), slamming nine fours and eight monstrous sixes to record the then-second fastest Twenty20 hundred. He added 107 with Paras Dogra, but even the duo’s mammoth partnership could not deny Mumbai’s last-gasp dash to a four-run win thanks to excellent death-overs bowling from Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga.
