Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma scored an unwanted record during their IPL 2023 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday, May 6.
Sharma has now scored the most ducks (16) by a batter in tournament history. It came after Ravindra Jadeja, 36, was caught failing to take out Deepak Chahar in the third, leaving the visitors reeling at 14-3.
Sunil Narine, Mandeep Singh, and Dinesh Karthik are second (15 each) on the list of batters with the most ducks in the cash-rich league.
Notably, Rohit Sharma has failed to find success so far in IPL 2023, scoring 184 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 126.89, including a lone half-century. He previously scored a duck in MI’s previous match against Punjab Kings (PBKS).
The right-handed batsman also scored three single-digit scores (1 vs. RCB, 2 vs. GT, and 3 vs. RR) in IPL 2023, apart from the two ducks. His only fifty (65) came against DC. He will now work to return to his form for the remaining matches of the season.
