Top 5 T20 hundreds while chasing that ended on a losing cause

#2 Yusuf Pathan, 100 - Rajasthan Royals Vs Mumbai Indians, 2010

Yusuf Pathan always owned the ability to turn a match upside down within a span of few balls. This match against the Mumbai Indians made the world notice Yusuf Pathan’s six-hitting prowess.

Batting first, Mumbai Indians scored 212 runs with the help of the fifties from Ambati Rayudu and Saurabh Tiwary. Royals' quest for a win began on a disastrous note; they lost four wickets for just 66 runs in ten overs.Yusuf Pathan came to the crease when the chase was virtual out of the equation against the star-studded Mumbai attack. Nevertheless, the Baroda hard-hitter had other plans. He smashed all the bowlers out of the park and took just 37 balls to reach his century.

The target was well within reach as the Royals required just 40 runs in 3 overs.Unfortunately, he got run out soon right after his hundred. The chase stumbled; the Royals fell short off the target by four runs. Pathan would have pulled off a miracle had he gotten support from his other mates.

It has been more than seven years since Yusuf's mind-boggling hundred. Still, it is one of the best hundreds ever scored in the history of IPL.
