The star batsman of the Indian team is known all over the world for his explosive batting. However, in a fast format like T20, sometimes even big players return to the pavilion without opening their account. In ICC T20 International cricket, some of the legendary batsmen of Team India also have unwanted records of most ‘ducks’ in their name. You will be shocked to know whose names.
Rohit Sharma
The name of Team India’s experienced opener Rohit Sharma is included at the top of this list. Rohit, who played 159 T20 matches from 2007 to 2024, has been out 12 times without opening the account. Rohit has scored 4231 runs during this period, in which his strike rate has been more than 140. However, in a format like T20, there is a higher risk of getting out early due to aggressive batting.
sanju samson
In this matter, wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson is at number two. Samson has been out on duck 7 times in 58 matches played between 2015 and 2026. He has scored 1100 runs and his strike rate has been around 149. Samson is often known for his explosive starts, but his risky batting can sometimes prove costly.
Virat Kohli
Former captain Virat Kohli is also included in this list. Kohli has reached the pavilion 7 times in 125 T20 matches from 2010 to 2024 without opening his account. However, he has 4188 runs in his name and his average is around 49, which is considered excellent in this format.
Abhishek Sharma
Young batsman Abhishek Sharma, who has been struggling with poor form in the recent T20 World Cup, is also not behind in this list. He has faced ‘duck’ 6 times in 41 matches played between 2024 and 2026. Abhishek’s strike rate is more than 190, which reflects his aggressive batting style.
Suryakumar Yadav
Team India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav has also registered his name in this shameful list. He has experienced getting out without opening the account 6 times in 108 matches played from 2021 to 2026. However, he has led the team to victory in many matches by scoring 3192 runs.
