India had to face defeat by 2 wickets in the second ODI against Australia. The most talked about thing in this high voltage match was Virat Kohli’s dismissal for a duck (0 runs) for the second consecutive time. Kohli, who was once called a run machine, is now in the headlines because of a record which no batsman would like to make. This is the 40th time that Virat has returned to the pavilion without scoring any runs in international cricket.
Zaheer Khan at number one
Former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan is at the top of this list. Zaheer, who played 309 matches in all three formats for India, was out 43 times without opening the account. He made the team win many matches with the ball, but his contribution with the bat was limited.
Virat Kohli is in second place
At number two is Virat Kohli, who is considered to be India’s most reliable batsman. However, statistics show that Kohli now has 40 ducks in his name. In his illustrious career, Kohli has scored about 28 thousand international runs and 82 centuries, but this ‘duck record’ is like a stain on his golden career. In the second ODI played in Adelaide, he was once again out without scoring a run.
Ishant Sharma at number three
The third name in this list is that of Ishant Sharma. This tall fast bowler has faced ducks 40 times in his international career. Although his defensive batting ability was often praised, he was rarely able to score big scores.
Harbhajan Singh is also not behind
India’s legendary spinner Harbhajan Singh is in fourth place. In his almost 20 year long career, he also scored two Test centuries, but was out for duck 37 times. Harbhajan led India to victory many times with the ball, but many times he got out early with the bat.
Jasprit Bumrah’s name also included
Current fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is at number five. He has scored a duck 35 times so far. Bumrah is known for his bowling. Batsmen tremble with his yorker balls, but when it comes to the bat, his name has also been included in this ‘duck club’.
