While the Indian Premier League (IPL) is known for its breathtaking performances and unforgettable innings, not all records are celebrated. One such undesirable milestone is the record for the most ducks (0 runs) in IPL history, which belongs to Glenn Maxwell. As of IPL 2024, Glenn Maxwell holds the record for the most ducks in IPL history. The Australian all-rounder, known for his explosive batting, has had his fair share of off-days, where he has failed to open his account.
Other Players with Most Ducks in IPL
Maxwell is not alone in this unwanted list. Several star players have found themselves dismissed for zero multiple times:
- Glenn Maxwell – (Most Ducks in IPL History)
- Rohit Sharma
- Dinesh Karthik
- Piyush Chawla
- Mandeep Singh
While these players have had stellar IPL careers, the nature of the fast-paced T20 format means even the best can get out cheaply on their day.
Why Do Big Players Get Out for Ducks?
Despite being a destructive batter, Maxwell often takes risks early in his innings, which can sometimes backfire. Similarly, players like Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik, who bat in crucial positions, are often exposed to challenging situations where a single mistake can cost them their wicket. With IPL 2025 around the corner, it will be interesting to see if Maxwell can avoid adding to this tally or if another player will surpass him for this unwanted record.
