Most Ducks in ODI

Most Ducks in ODI refers to the unenviable record of a batter being dismissed for a score of zero. This all-time tally is led by the Sri Lankan icon Sanath Jayasuriya.
Across his illustrious 445-match career, Jayasuriya recorded 34 ducks, followed by Shahid Afridi with 30. As of 2026, this statistic often highlights two types of players: high-risk, aggressive openers who perish early while trying to dominate, and specialist bowlers (tail-enders) who lack refined batting skills. While seemingly a mark of failure, a high number of ducks is ironically often a badge of longevity—only those who play the game long enough and at the highest level can accumulate such a significant tally. It serves as a stark reminder of the fine line between explosive success and immediate dismissal in the volatile 50-over format.
