10 Unforgettable performances that ended in defeats
Cricket is a team sport but there are instances when an individual performance steels the show. However, it doesn't always end up in a winning cause.
1. Sachin Tendulkar vs Bangladesh (2012)
On March 16, 2012, Sachin Tendulkar managed to score his much-awaited 100th international hundred against Bangladesh in an Asia Cup encounter in Mirpur.
The Master Blaster scored 114 runs off 147 balls with 12 fours and a six. His patient knock helped India post a decent score of 289 for the loss of five wickets against the Mushfiqur Rahim-led side. This was the legendary batter's 49th ODI ton. Bangladesh went on to chase the target in 49.2 overs with five wickets to spare.
While Sachin ended up on the losing side, he hogged the limelight for his incredible feat. Registering 100 international centuries is not an achievement that we will get to see too often. This wasn't the Mumbai batter's most perfect century but it was one that was enough to fulfil the dream of billions of cricket enthusiasts around the world.
