The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the biggest T20 cricket event in the world. In this tournament, players from all across the world play together for different franchises. In cricket, being out without scoring any runs is one of the most unfortunate experiences for a batter. So just imagine what batters will feel when he gets out for a duck in the IPL.
Here are the players with the most number of ducks in IPL history.
5. Sunil Narine (16 ducks)
Caribbean cricketer Sunil Narine hasn't shined only with the ball but with the bat too. As a left-handed opening batter, Narine played some brutal innings in his IPL career. Serving only for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, Narine provided some great starts. However, in his long IPL career, Narine was also dismissed for a duck 16 times.

4. Piyush Chawla (16 ducks)
Indian leg-spinner Piyush Chawla is one of the best spinners in IPL history. Although he has some great batting records in first-class cricket, including hitting six first-class centuries, he is not a regular performer with the bat in white-ball cricket, especially in the T20 format. In his IPL career, Chawla has recorded 16 ducks.
3. Rohit Sharma (17 ducks)
Can you believe that the name of Rohit Sharma is on this list? Rohit Sharma, who is one of the most fearsome batters in the history of cricket, has his name on this list. Being one of the most successful captains in IPL history, Rohit has a number of batting records in IPL. But, he has also gone back to the pavilion for a duck 17 times.
2. Dinesh Karthik (18 ducks)
Dinesh Karthik is one of the greatest Indian wicketkeeper-batters, who has never given up and made several great comebacks. Serving for many IPL teams, Karthik has some great batting records, but his top position in the list of most IPL ducks is unwanted. The right-handed batter has recorded 18 IPL ducks.
1. Glenn Maxwell (18 ducks)
Just like Dinesh Karthik, Australian star Glenn Maxwell has also written some great comeback stories in his cricket career. Maxwell is known for his aggressive batting performances, as the bowlers can't think of any relief when he is batting. However, Maxwell also has a record of 18 IPL ducks, which is surely unwanted for him.
