Stats: No ducks in international career

Faf du Plessis

Cricket, being a game of runs, the players with colossal records and mind blowing scores are often dragged into the limelight. Getting out without scoring a run is perhaps the most embarrassing thing that can happen to a batsman.

South African batsman Faf du Plessis can be rated as one of the most consistent batsmen amongst contemporary cricketers; he has played 81 matches so far and hasn’t got out for a duck in any of the matches. He is the current skipper of the South Africa T20 squad and also became the fourth South African to score a Test century on debut, in 2012.
