#3 Sachin Tendulkar - 100* (66) vs Kochi Tuskers Kerala, 15th April 2011
The visiting captain Mahela Jayawardene asked Mumbai Indians to bat first on a flat Wankhede track.
Sachin Tendulkar opened the innings with David Jacobs. The pair raised together an opening stand of 61 runs. Jacobs lost his wicket in the 8th over, but that did not stop the Little Master as he lasted the entire 20 overs to score his first IPL century off the last ball.
Batting on 99*, Sachin dragged a low full toss from Vinay Kumar on the off side to take a single and reach the milestone. Sachin’s knock helped Mumbai Indians reach 182/2 as Ambati Rayudu also chipped in with a vital 53 (33).
However, Mumbai went on to lose the match. Brendon McCullum and Jayawardene played an innings of 81 and 56 respectively to take their team home.
