Though Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar scored a century on Friday against Kochi Tuskers, thereby joining the elite club of a batsman scoring hundred in all forms of cricket, his team ended on losing side.
Tendulkar`s maiden Twenty20 century went in vain as Kochi Tuskers Kerela opened their account in the Indian Premier League with an upset eight wicket victory over Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai Indian skipper Tendulkar slammed a 66-ball 100 and put on a stand of 116 runs with Ambati Rayudu (53) to set an imposing target of 182 before Kochi after skipper Mehela Jayawardene won the toss and decided to field.
But Kochi opener Brendon McCullum powered his way to an equally brilliant 81 and added 128 runs with Jayawardene to help the IPL debutants overhaul the stiff target, reaching 184-2 with six balls to spare
