TOP FIVE MOST DUCK IN CRICKET
A duck in cricket is when a batsman is dismissed without scoring any run. It is considered a sign of poor batting performance or bad luck. Some players have been unfortunate enough to get out for a duck many times in their international careers. Here are some of them:
-
Muttiah Muralitharan** The legendary Sri Lankan spinner holds the dubious record of having the most ducks in international cricket. He has been dismissed for zero 59 times in his career, out of which 33 were in Tests, 25 in ODIs and one in T20Is. He also has the most Test wickets (800) and ODI wickets (534) in history, so he can be forgiven for his batting failures.
Courtney Walsh: The fearsome West Indian fast bowler is second on the list with 54 ducks. He has 43 ducks in Tests and 11 in ODIs. He was also a prolific wicket-taker, with 519 Test wickets and 227 ODI wickets. He was known for his hostile bowling and his partnership with Curtly Ambrose.
Sanath Jayasuriya** The explosive Sri Lankan opener has the most ducks in ODI cricket, with 34. He also has 19 ducks in Tests and one in T20Is, making his total 53. However, he was also one of the most destructive batsmen of his era, scoring over 21,000 runs and 42 centuries across formats. He was also a handy left-arm spinner, with over 400 wickets in international cricket.
Glenn McGrath : The Australian pace legend has 49 ducks to his name, with 35 in Tests and 14 in ODIs. He was often the target of sledging by the opposition for his lack of batting skills. However, he was also one of the best bowlers of all time, with 563 Test wickets and 381 ODI wickets. He was known for his accuracy and consistency.
Mahela Jayawardene : The elegant Sri Lankan batsman has 47 ducks in his career, with 15 in Tests, 28 in ODIs and four in T20Is. He is also one of the most prolific run-scorers in history, with over 25,000 runs and 54 centuries across formats. He was also a brilliant fielder and a successful captain.
These are some of the players who have scored the most ducks in cricket.
However, they have also achieved many other feats and records that overshadow their batting failures. They are all legends of the game and have contributed immensely to their teams and countries.
