6 forgotten records in cricket which are simply unbelievable

#4 Muttiah Muralitharan has the highest number of ducks in International cricket

Muttaiah Muralitharan: The legend with most number of ducks

Muttiah Muralitharan has always been renowned for his bowling. Sanath Jayasuriya would mention time and again that, Murali could turn the ball even on water. After all he is the only bowler in International cricket to start the 800 club in Test cricket with a staggering 67 5-fers. He has a total of 1347 International wickets when the next best Shane Warne only has 1001 to his name.

But Murali has an unwelcome record to his name as well. He holds the record for the highest number of ducks in International cricket. Murali's ducks are evenly distributed, as he has 25 ducks in Tests and another 33 in ODIs with a solitary duck in T20s. Even though Murali's highest Test score is 67 versus India and he has a better Test batting record than Courtney Walsh, Danny Morrison and Glenn McGrath, the length of his career has contributed in Murali having the most number of ducks.

If Jasprit Bumrah has a long career, he might come close to Murali or even break the record, because he is a proper number 11 in the modern era.
