10 instances when an IPL century was scored in a losing cause

#9 Hashim Amla - 104 (60) vs Gujarat Lions, 7th May 2017

Amla surprisingly went unsold in the IPL Auction 2018

Playing for the Kings XI Punjab, Hashim Amla scored a classic century against Suresh Raina’s Gujarat Lions.

Raina won the toss and invited the home side to bat first on a flat Indore wicket. Pradeep Sangwan dismissed Martin Guptill in the first over of the innings which united Hashim Amla with Shaun Marsh.

The duo tried to stabilize the innings by building a partnership. Both the individuals brought up their respective fifties before Marsh (58) departed.

Amla continued the assault from the other end as he went on to score his second IPL century off 59 balls before losing his wicket to Basil Thampi on the very next ball. The South African’s efforts were not sufficient, as the Lions’ onslaught led by Dwayne Smith, made sure that the visitors win the match by 6 wickets.
