Instances when T20I centuries came in a losing cause

3. Rohit Sharma’s 106 against South Africa

It was the first T20I match of the South Africa’s 72-day tour of India which was played at Dharamsala on 2 October, 2015 and after winning the toss, South Africa had selected to fields first and put India into batting. While batting first, ‘Hitman’ named Rohit Sharma notched his first ever T20I ton with some glorious shots all over the ground and with Virat Kohli’s quick fire forty three runs, India had managed to post a total of 199 runs from 20 overs.

It was not surprised for anyone if India loses the match from there because they had not that kind of bowlers who can challenge the South African batsmen barring Ashwin and with the combined effort of AB de Villiers and JP Duminy, they had beaten India in 19.4 overs with seven wickets remaining and that proved once again that if any team wants to win T20I matches consistently, they need to have good bowlers who can take wickets at regular intervals otherwise opposition team can chase any total and can beat you on any given day.
