In a video going viral on social media, a dejected Rohit Sharma can be seen taking a long walk to the pavilion following Mumbai Indians loss against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. It was Mumbai’s fourth loss in six games in the tournament so far.
Sharma scored 105 not out off 63 balls but couldn’t help his side reach the 207-run target, with Chennai winning by 20 runs.
In the video, while the players of both teams can be seen shaking hands with each other, Rohit, who didn’t even celebrate after reaching the milestone in the last over of the match. It was Rohit’s only second IPL century was walking alone towards the Mumbai Indians dugout.

The chase
Mumbai got off to a speedy start with Sharma and Ishan Kishan putting on 70 runs in just 7.1 overs.
Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana then pegged them back with a double breakthrough in the 8th over — first Kishan was caught at midwicket and then Suryakumar Yadav was caught at third man for a two-ball duck.

Sharma and Tilak Varma rebuilt the innings with 60 off 38 balls for the third wicket. Mumbai was back in the chase, when Pathirana struck again to send back Varma.
Chennai then put on the brakes with some clever bowling and field placing. Sharma, who had reached 50 off 33 balls, was starved of the strike and only faced another 30 balls despite being unbeaten at the end.
He did manage to double his score, reaching 100 off 61 balls, but Mumbai kept losing wickets at the other end.
Sharma hit 11 fours and five sixes, but his efforts went in vain.
