Most Ducks in IPL History (2008 – 2023): Players With Most Zero Run Dismissals in Indian Premier League

The Indian Premier League is a batsman’s paradise as nowhere else will you be able to see all the players, including the bowlers, going for boundaries immediately after stepping on the field. However, this need to be explosive and put up big scores on the scoreboard also results in carelessness. Add to that poor form and match pressure, and players often come away without a run. This is called a duck in cricket and is a nightmare scenario for every batsman. Today we cover the list of players with most ducks in IPL history.

Zero run scores in IPL

Nothing damages a batsman’s mentality more than being dismissed for zero runs, especially the top order ones who carry the biggest responsibility on their shoulders. While batsmen’s average batting time is significantly lower in the IPL than in other forms of cricket, they still enter the field with the intention of scoring substantial runs and making an impact.

Most players come, make as many runs as possible and leave. Even the bowlers bat explosively in the IPL, which follows a T20 cricket format. Entertainment is the priority in IPL and nothing excites fans more than a boundary. But this ruthless race to make an impact makes players reckless. They don’t take time to judge the pitch or calm down, which is already a luxury in T20 cricket. Also, when a batsman is not in his element and out of form, the pressure of the IPL only amplifies and they crumble.

Big-name and world-class hitters have been bowled out without runs, sometimes on their first pitches. This is called a duck in cricket, but most people are not familiar with the term. You can read the list of players with most ducks in IPL below.

Players with most ducks in IPL history (2008 – 2023) – Dinesh Karthik

• Dinesh Karthik, who has had a make-or-break career of late, holds the record for most IPL ducks. In his 16-season IPL career, Karthik has been dismissed for zero runs a shocking 17 times. He had a brilliant career in IPL 2022 but could not live up to the expectations in IPL 2023.
• Rohit Sharma is the latest entry in the list of players with the most ducks in IPL. The hitman has had terrible luck lately and is second only to Karthik.
• The Indian cricket captain is a known great batsman and led his team, the Mumbai Indians, to win five IPL championships. This fact makes his recent performance a complete absurdity. Rohit Sharma has amassed 16 ducks in his IPL career.
• Sunil Narine is third in the list of players with most zero run scores in IPL. The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) veteran is an all-rounder who possesses remarkable skill with both bat and ball. He has had success as a right-arm bowler and as a left-handed batsman. Narine bats in all orders but KKR used to field him as an opener in the IPL. He or she scored some big hits or got sacked. Narine also bats in the middle and lower-middle order. He has scored 15 ducks in his IPL career, having come out to bat in 93 innings.
