Most Ducks in T20

Most Ducks in T20 is a metric that highlights the high-risk nature of aggressive batting in the shortest format. In a game where every delivery demands intent, getting out for zero—known as a "Duck"—is often the byproduct of a batter’s attempt to dominate the bowler from the very first ball.
In all T20 cricket, the leaderboard is topped by seasoned campaigners and high-impact pinch-hitters like Sunil Narine and Alex Hales, who have recorded over 35 ducks in their long franchise careers. In T20 Internationals (T20I), as of 2026, the record is shared by veteran openers like Paul Stirling and Rohit Sharma, with tallies reaching 12-15 ducks. While historically seen as a failure, in the modern T20 era, these figures are often interpreted through the lens of tactical aggression; they represent the "fearless" approach where a player prioritizes a high strike rate over their individual wicket, reflecting the brutal reality of modern power-hitting.
