Most Ducks in IPL 2024

Do you know which player has the most ducks in IPL history? You might be surprised by some of the big names on this list.

In the fast-paced Indian Premier League (IPL), where sixes and boundaries are the norm, a “duck” means a batter got out without scoring any runs. While some players have left a mark with impressive scores, others hold the unfortunate record of getting the most ducks—considered one of the worst achievements in cricket.

Interestingly, some players who have recorded ducks have also scored some of the fastest fifties in the IPL. Having the most ducks is definitely a negative aspect of a player’s career.

If you’re curious about which players top this unwanted list, we have compiled the complete list of ducks in IPL history. Let’s take a look!

Check out who is the most man of the match in IPL.
