Glenn Maxwell creates embarrassing record by registering golden duck in GT vs PBKS IPL 2025 match

Punjab Kings (PBKS) player Glenn Maxwell was dismissed for a golden duck in the fifth game of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) against the Gujarat Titans (GT). The game is being played on Tuesday, March 25, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

This dismissal has earned Maxwell the dubious distinction of holding the record for the most ducks in IPL history, with 19 to his name.

The 36-year-old came in at No. 5 after Azmatullah Omarzai’s dismissal off the third ball of the 11th over, bowled by Sai Kishore. On the fourth delivery, the left-arm spinner bowled a flatter ball, which Maxwell attempted to reverse sweep but missed, getting hit on the body instead. The GT players immediately appealed, and the umpire promptly raised his finger, sending the explosive batter back for a golden duck.

The Australian all-rounder opted not to review the decision. However, the ball tracker later indicated that the ball was missing the stumps.

With this dismissal, Glenn Maxwell now holds the unwanted record for the most ducks (19) in IPL history. Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma are in second and third place on the list, respectively, both having 18 ducks to their names.
