Overall, Tilak is the fourth player to score a century from number five or below in the history of the IPL. Previously, the rare feat has been achieved by Ben Stokes (103 for Rising Pune Supergiant vs Gujarat Lions in 2017), David Miller (101 for Kings XI Punjab vs RCB at Mohali in 2013), and Yusuf (100 for Rajasthan Royals vs MI in 2010). Each of the last three tons had come in a run chase.
