Most Ducks in IPL

Most Ducks in IPL is a fascinating statistic that highlights the high-risk, high-reward nature of T20 cricket, a record ironically shared by some of the league's most decorated veterans and aggressive stroke-makers.

As of 2026, the record for the most dismissals for zero is jointly held by Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell with 18 ducks each, followed closely by Rohit Sharma with 17. While a "duck" represents a momentary failure, its prevalence among legendary figures underscores that even the greatest icons are susceptible to early exits when tasked with aggressive scoring—particularly during the high-pressure Powerplay—or when facing world-class bowling.
