Centuries in a losing cause are rare in ODIs, and only a few batters have done it often despite strong individual knocks.
Sachin Tendulkar leads this list with 14 ODI hundreds in matches India ended up losing.
Chris Gayle is next with 11 ODI centuries in defeats, showing how often he stood tall for West Indies.
Brendan Taylor has 9 ODI centuries in losing games for Zimbabwe, underlining his value as a top-order scorer.
Virat Kohli also has 9 ODI tons in losses, a reminder that even great batting efforts don’t always change results.
This stat shows how individual brilliance needs team support, and that centuries alone don’t always decide ODI matches.
