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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
