Glenn Maxwell has broken the unwanted record for the most ducks in the Indian Premier League. He was previously a joint record holder with Rohit Sharma, but after getting dismissed for a duck against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, he now holds the record outright.
Maxwell placed him at the top of the list for the most ducks in IPL history, with 18 ducks in 129 innings. Over his IPL career, he has amassed 2,771 runs, including 18 half-centuries, while maintaining an average of 24.43. The 2024 IPL season proved challenging for Maxwell, as he recorded four ducks in the tournament, cementing his position at the top of this unwanted statistic.
BIG WICKET!

Rohit Sharma continues to struggle
Rohit Sharma was criticised for his poor form in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the India captain even dropped himself from the final Test in Sydney.
Once India returned home, Rohit Sharma batted himself back to some sort of form and hit a hundred against England in the ODI series before a match-winning half-century against New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy.
Rohit Sharma’s duck now puts him on a dubious list with Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell for the most ducks in the Indian Premier League. All three have now gotten 18 ducks in the IPL while Sunil Narine and Piyush Chawla have 16 each.
Rohit Sharma has been a bit of an enigma in the IPL – he has three double hundreds in one-day internationals including a world record 264 and 5 T20I hundreds.
In the IPL, Rohit has scored 6628 runs from 258 matches, averaging less than 30 with 2 hundreds.
