In the Indian Premier League (IPL), legendary players like Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, David Warner, etc, have given fans milestones like the most runs, most centuries, and fastest fifties. However, some games also have their share of disappointments and struggles. Dinesh Kartik, who has been a part of IPL since its inception playing for teams such as the Delhi Daredevils, Gujarat Lions, Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has 18 ducks. Thus, even the most experienced cricketers, including star players like Rohit Sharma, and Glenn Maxwell, have experienced off days.

Most ducks in IPL history

Topping the list for scoring the most ducks in IPL history are power-hitters Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik, both with 18 ducks. Maxwell, who has played for the DC, KXIP, MI, and RCB, often takes risks early, which sometimes leads to quick dismissals. Karthik, who has the most ducks in the IPL along with the Aussie, is a similar player who is often forced to take risks towards the end of an innings. Rohit Sharma, the most successful IPL captain in the IPL (with MS Dhoni), is third on the list with 17 ducks in 252 innings.

Piyush Chawla (16 ducks in 92 innings) and Sunil Narine (16 ducks in 110 innings) follow the top 3 as of the 2024 IPL season. Rashid Khan is next on the list with 15 ducks in 60 innings.

Veteran IPL players like Mandeep Singh (98 innings, 15 ducks), Manish Pandey (159 innings, 14 ducks), and Ambati Rayudu (187 innings, 14 ducks) have also made this list.

The complete list of players with the most ducks in IPL is as follows:
