Most Ducks in the History of IPL

IPL is the world’s most entertaining cricket league (Indian Premier League). A batsman always has a tendency to smash the bowlers around the pitch and play a significant knock to cheer on the crowd and his teammates. However, if a batsman is dismissed without adding a single run, both the batsman and his supporters become enraged. Let’s take a look at the players on this list to see who holds the odd record of having the most ducks in IPL history.

Rohit Sharma – Most Number of Ducks In IPL

With 14 ducks in 227 IPL games, Rohit Sharma, the current Indian captain, has the most ducks in IPL history. Sharma has accumulated 5879 runs at a respectable average of 30.30, placing him fourth among all scorers in the major competition. Rohit Sharma typically creates records that are memorable, but he would rather forget this one.

Mandeep Singh

Mandeep Singh, a right-handed batsman from Punjab, is ranked second on this list despite having played 95 innings and recorded 14 ducks. Mandeep has scored 1692 runs so far at a respectable strike rate of 123.77. Every time Mandeep bats, he tries to play attacking cricket, which raises the possibility of being caught.

Piyush Chawla

Piyush Chawla, one of the most seasoned bowlers in IPL history, is currently third on the list of IPL players with the most ducks (13). Chawla scored 584 runs in 82 innings over the course of his 14-year IPL career, striking out at an average rate of 111.0. With 157 wickets, the seasoned leggie is the sixth-highest wicket-taker in the IPL.

Harbhajan Singh

In the IPL, legendary off-spinner Harbhajan Singh also has the same number of ducks as Piyush Chawla (13). Despite being an excellent bowler in the competition, the ninth-highest wicket-taker in the IPL has his name here. Bhajji maintained a strike rate of 137.91 and was an effective lower-order batsman. However, seeing his name on this embarrassing list is not surprising given that he is a bowler.

Parthiv Patel

Parthiv Patel, one of the most seasoned players in the Indian Premier League, is currently ranked fifth in terms of breaking the absurd IPL record for the most ducks. With his accurate batting technique, Parthiv scored 2848 runs in 139 games as an opener. The feat of 13 ducks will, however, not be appreciated by the southpaw.
