Tallying up ducks in cricket, especially in the dynamic format of T20 matches like the IPL, can be quite telling of a player’s performance under pressure. It’s that dreaded moment when a batsman departs without a single run to their name. Let’s delve into the history of IPL ducks and the players who’ve faced this ignominious fate the most.

At the forefront sits Dinesh Karthik, with an impressive 17 ducks to his name across 221 innings. Following closely is Rohit Sharma, a stalwart of Mumbai’s campaigns, notching up 16 ducks in his 238 innings. Together, they’ve amassed a formidable 6211 runs at an average of 29.57, showcasing resilience despite early setbacks.

Sharing the third spot with 15 ducks apiece are Mandeep Singh and Sunil Narine, two players whose IPL journeys have been sprinkled with both triumphs and challenges. Next in line, tied with 14 ducks each, are Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, and Glenn Maxwell. Rayudu’s pivotal role in CSK’s 2018 victory stands out, reflecting his impactful presence in the league.

Further down the list, with 13 ducks each, are a quintet of players including Harbhajan Singh, Parthiv Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Rashid Khan, and Piyush Chawla. Rahane’s IPL legacy spans 171 games, during which he’s amassed 4373 runs with a commendable strike rate and average. Parthiv Patel, who recently bid adieu to the sport, leaves behind a legacy of consistent performances for RCB.

Gautam Gambhir, the former KKR captain, occupies the sixth position with 12 ducks, a statistic that belies his overall impact on the league. Despite facing setbacks, Gambhir’s leadership led KKR to IPL victories in 2012 and 2014, cementing his status as a cricketing stalwart.

Here’s a snapshot of the top duck getters in IPL history:

“The plan was to get Maxi out as quickly as possible. To defend 220 with so much dew, have to give something to the bowlers. Australia were always in the game. Told the boys we’ll try and get him (Maxwell) out quickly but it didn’t happen, it was insane. Axar is an experienced bowler, thought there’s always a chance for an experienced bowler even if it’s a spinner when there’s dew. Very proud of my boys”, Suryakumar Yadav said in the post match ceremony.

Glenn Maxwell, the Player of the Match said, “It all went pretty quickly. It was hard work for them to bowl yorkers with so much dew. We didn’t really have a number in mind. Knew we would be in the game if we could take it down to the final over. Wade had to be out there to cash in with Axar having one over left towards the end. Wade was brilliant out there, the way he went helped me as well.”

Glenn Maxwell was awarded as the Player of the match in the post match ceremony and he talked about the difficult situation on the field, he said, “It was hot while fielding today, I haven’t done a lot of exercise in the heat, it got a hold on me today. I wanted to stay back and get some movement (on my legs). Not too much (when asked about plans at 92/7), just stick to the batting plans as much as possible, for me, still be positive, still look to play my shots, that LBW, it was going just above (the stumps), probably that made me be more proactive.”

“ A hint of swing and nip (off the surface), as it happens here under lights, they bowled beautifully to exploit that. It would have been nice if it was a chanceless knock, but I had my chances, to make the most of it tonight was something I can be proud of. Amazing, after the first two games, people were quick to write us off. The belief was always there (as a team), after today, it would have gone a bit higher”, added Maxwell.

Australia’s Head Coach on the Glenn Maxwell’s missing game against England

“The guys were ferried off on carts. Glenn and a few other players jumped on the back of carts and unfortunately he lost his grip on the way back to the team bus and sustained that injury. Over the last couple of days he’s been assessed. We feel as though it’ll be a relatively straightforward return to play protocol with where he’s at at the moment”, said McDonald.

“There’ll be no replacement (in the squad) as such, he’ll go into six to eight days concussion protocol. So they said that taking into account the England game, he’ll be unavailable for that game. And then clearly within the squad we’ve got some players who become available, Marcus Stoinis, Cameron Green’s there available as well, but we haven’t made that decision as yet”, he added.
