Fifty hundred in a losing cause

Rohit Sharma’s 114 in the game against Zimbabwe on 28.05.2010 was in a losing cause providing the 50th occasion of an Indian batsman’s hundred going in vain in one day internationals. Thus India became the only team in the one day history to have 50 hundreds in a losing cause.
Sachin Tendulkar, naturally, is on top with 12 hundred for losing cause while four hundred each scored by Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly when India lost a One Day match. There are 21 players involved in losing cause by scoring hundred. 3-each by Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj Singh and Asharuddin, 2-each by Gautam Gambhir, K Srikkanth, Ajay Jadeja, Manoj Prabhakar and VVS Laxman and one-each by Raman Lamba, MS Dhoni, Mohinder Amarnath, Suresh Raina, NS Sidhu, Vinod Kambli, Virender Sehwag, Sanjay Manjrekar, Dilip Vengasarkar, Hemang Badani and Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma’s was the 22nd instance when a batsman scored maiden century in India’s losing cause.
And above all… Vinod Kambli scored his maiden hundred on his 21st birthday and India lost the match against England by 4 wickets at Jaipur on 18 January 1993
