Glenn Maxwell, who was making his debut for the third time for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2025, had a forgettable start as he was dismissed for a golden duck in the match against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, March 25, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Glenn Maxwell’s Forgettable Start on His Third IPL Debut for PBKS
Maxwell came in to bat in the 11th over, with PBKS in a strong position, but was dismissed on the first ball by Sai Kishore. He was given out LBW while attempting a reverse sweep. After the umpire’s decision, Maxwell spoke with Shreyas Iyer but chose not to review the call.
The TV replays shocked PBKS and Maxwell as they revealed the ball was missing the stumps. If Maxwell had opted for the review, he could have stayed at the crease and continued his innings.
Maxwell’s dismissal marked his 19th duck in the IPL, making him the first player to achieve this unwanted record. Before this, the Australian star shared the record for the most ducks in IPL history with Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma.
Most Ducks in IPL History:
- Glenn Maxwell – 19 ducks in 130 innings
- Rohit Sharma – 18 ducks in 253 innings
- Dinesh Karthik – 18 ducks in 234 innings
- Piyush Chawla – 16 ducks in 92 innings
- Sunil Narine – 16 ducks in 278 innings
Maxwell has 35 ducks in T20 cricket, ranking fourth behind Sunil Narine, Rashid Khan, and Alex Hales.

Since 2022, Glenn Maxwell has an IPL economy rate of 7.73 ; better than Rashid, Kuldeep, Ashwin & Varun.
