MI captain Rohit Sharma registers this unwanted record in IPL game during CSK vs MI

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma has registered an unwanted record during their IPL 2023 game against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday, May 6.

Sharma has now registered the most ducks (16) by a batter in the history of the tournament. This came after the 36-year-old was caught by Ravindra Jadeja as he failed to flick a delivery off Deepak Chahar in the third over, leaving the visitors reeling at 14-3.

Most ducks in the history of IPL:

16 -Rohit Sharma
15 -Dinesh Karthik
15 -Sunil Narine
15 -Mandeep Singh #CSKvsMI #ElClasico https://t.co/kURuQ5AnpZ

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.

It's worth mentioning that Rohit Sharma has failed to deliver with the bat so far in IPL 2023, having scored 184 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 126.89, including a solitary half-century. He previously registered a duck in MI’s previous match against the Punjab Kings (PBKS).

The right-handed batter has also registered three single-digit scores (1 vs RCB, 2 vs GT, and 3 vs RR) in IPL 2023, apart from his two ducks. His only fifty (65) came against DC. He will now look to return back to form in the remaining games this season.
