IPL: Statistical Analysis of the first 50 IPL centuries

Centuries in Winning/Losing cause

10 out of 50 IPL centuries have come in a losing cause

To score a century and yet end up on the losing side would be such a dissatisfaction for any batsman. Young Indian sensation Rishabh Pant was at the receiving end of the same feeling recently when his magnificent 128* could not prove enough for his team Delhi's victory.

Symonds went through a similar feeling in 2008 when compatriot Shane Warne smashed him for 17 runs in the last over of the match to snatch a memorable victory. Wriddhiman Saha would have loved to lift the trophy after becoming the first and till date the only centurion in an IPL final. It was, though, not to be so.

Chris Gayle's 175*, McCullum's 158* and de Villiers' 133* are all famous knocks that cricket fans always remember and bowlers try forgetting.
