No harm in playing own game, but the shot he played to get out was rather for his own 100 than helping the team getting a 4. He got out in a crucial time when Naeem and he was building a good partnership. He got out just before bowling power play. In such situation, I would rather prefer playing few dot balls than losing a well established batsman.
Since he is new in this circuit, he can be excused this time but he should not have played that wild shot to get his 100 quickly. He could have made up those few dot balls during bowling power play.
