5 greatest 150+ ODI innings that ended in defeat

# 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan (SL), 160 (124) vs India at Rajkot

Dilshan silenced the Rajkot crowd with his counterattacking 160

When India finished their innings at 414/7, they didn't know that this match would turn out to be one of the greatest thrillers of all time.

On the run-belter pitch of Rajkot, Virender Sehwag hit an aggressive 146 to help India go past 400. Sri Lanka responded with a partnership of 188 runs for the opening wicket between Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upal Tharanga.

After Tharanga’s dismissal, Rajkot witnessed fire-works from both ends for the next 13 overs, with Kumar Sangakkara himself scoring 90 runs off only 43 deliveries. Dilshan hit 20 boundaries and 3 massive sixes in his innings of 160.

However in the last 10 overs, some poor batting by the Sri Lankan middle order allowed India to make a comeback and eventually win the match by 3 runs.
