The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most exciting and competitive cricket leagues in the world. It brings together top players from across the globe, showcasing their batting skills, elegant strokes, and powerful performances.

However, cricket can be unpredictable, and even the best players have moments where they fail to score. A “duck” in cricket means getting out without scoring a single run, and some players have unfortunately found themselves in this situation multiple times. If you’re wondering who holds the record for the most ducks in IPL history, let’s take a look.

Players With The Most Ducks In IPL

Currently, Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell top the list, each having registered 18 ducks in the IPL. While Karthik played 257 matches, Maxwell has reached the same number in just 137 games. Following them is Rohit Sharma with 17 ducks, while Piyush Chawla and Sunil Narine have 16 ducks each.
