Getting out for a duck is always a long walk back to the pavilion for a batsman and it brings great embarrassment to him. Given the ruthlessness of the T20 format, as a bowler, you don’t have the leverage of time to get your eye in and you look to hit the ball hard from the word go.
Urgency of getting runs or no urgency, getting out for a duck is always a shame for a batsman and such a discouragement. You make that long walk to the batting crease and then departing without troubling the scorers, oh boy!
So, we bring you an interesting tally of batsmen with most ducks in the IPL and this is one such tally of records which these batsmen would want to shy away from.
On the list of batsmen with most ducks in the Indian Premier League is Harbhajan Singh with 13 ducks.
Surely not the list, Bhajji would have wanted to top but that is how it is. Harbhajan Singh is followed by Parthiv Patel and Gautam Gambhir with 12 IPL ducks each against their names. Among the batsmen which are currently playing for the Indian side, Ajinkya Rahane and Manish Pandey too find them on the list of top 10 batsmen with most ducks in the Indian Premier League.
Manish Pandey has 11 IPL ducks while Ajinkya Rahane has 10 IPL ducks to his account and they would surely not be happy to be on this list.
