vvvslaxman Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Is this the best IPL 100? considering it came while chasing when his team was down and out.
zaheer Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 easily!! one was Yuppos which was in loosing cause and the other was Gayles (while chasing). but Viru's easily the best!!
Aaku Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Amaaaaaaaaaaaazing !! There was absolutely NO HOPE for dilli !! And he was playing really cautiously.. but when he got started.. oh boy HE GOT STARTED !!!!!! murdered the dischargers :yay:
Ultimate_Game Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 If Pathan had won the game than Yusuf's would have been better. But yeah at the moment this is the best considering the fact all the batsmen other than Sehwag struggled and the next best score was around 15 or so! Plus Delhi were 32/3 in 7 overs while chasing 175 and the Reqd RR was near 12!!! Amazing batting by Viru :two_thumbs_up:
Ultimate_Game Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Suggestion to OP. Set up a poll with the following contenders or any others you can think of... 1. Brendon McCullum's 158* 2. Yusuf's 100 off 37 balls in a lost cause 3. Sehwag's knock today 4. Valthatty's 120* 5. Manish Pandey's knock 6. Mike Hussey's 100 off 55 odd balls in IPL 1 These are the notable ones I could think of. Maybe you can find more and add the poll.

Prakat Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Classic Viru. Even though he isn't known much for his chasing scores.
vvvslaxman Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 MCCullum 158* Vijay 127 Valthaty 120* Sehwag 119 Symonds 117* Hussey 116* Marsh 115 Jayasuriya 114* Pandey 114* Jayawardane 110* Gilly 109* Warner 107* ABDV 105* Gayle 102* SRT 100* YKP 100 Can someone create a poll? Highest strike rate Jaya 114* in 48 balls = 237.50 Lowest strike rate Sachin 100* in 66 balls - 151.51 Centuries while chasing Valthaty 120* Jayasuriya 114* Viru 119 Gayle 102* Gilly 109* YKP 100 Jayawardane 110*
Ultimate_Game Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 My top 3 100s... 1. Viru 2. Yusuf Pathan 3. McCullum's amazing 158*
vvvslaxman Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 A team score of 158 itself is par score on most pitches. So ya.. 158 was special. Also it kinda set the tone for IPL. An important innings for IPL.

Yup, the only reason I have Viru and Yusuf's innings higher are coz Viru won a nearly lost game single handedly where the next best score was 15 or so. And Yusuf nearly won a lost game chasing 210 odd when the team was 60/6 or so and Reqd RR was nearer 14. McCullum's was an amazing innings and basically kick-started IPL but it came batting first against a poor Bangalore team.
Zelig Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Not really. Two easy catches were dropped. This. At last a sane poster :beee: 1. Hussey 2. Vijay don't care... :csk:
