Stats: Most ducks in IPL history

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen many records, like the most runs, most wickets, most centuries, half-centuries and other achievements. However, all the achievements are not boasting-worthy, such as the centuries, half-centuries, fastest 100s and 50s, etc.

Some records are worth keeping under wraps. When Rohit Sharma got out for a duck in 4 balls in the Mumbai Indians (MI) IPL 2025 opening match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he equaled the record for most ducks in IPL history. This was Rohit Sharma’s 18th score of zero in the Indian Premier League, and he joined some elite company on the list of most ducks in the IPL.

However, his record was broken by Glenn Maxwell in the first match his franchise, Punjab Kings, played on March 25 in the IPL 2025, and the Australian now has the most ducks in IPL history.
