Before IPL 2026, former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is in vigorous preparation. This season, he is expected to play a crucial role in helping the team win its sixth title with his batting. However, this time he will have to be especially careful, because if he gets out twice without scoring, an unwanted record could be registered in his name. His performance in the last season was good for the team.
Actually, if Rohit gets out for a duck twice this season, he will become the batsman with the most dismissals for zero in IPL history. Currently, this record is held by Australia’s Glenn Maxwell, who has been dismissed for a duck 19 times in 135 innings across 141 matches. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik are jointly in second place on this list, having been dismissed for a duck 18 times each.
Batsmen with the most duck dismissals in IPL
Glenn Maxwell – 19 times
Dinesh Karthik – 18 times
Rohit Sharma – 18 times
Sunil Narine – 17 times
Rashid Khan – 16 times
Maxwell and Karthik will not play in IPL 2026
It is being reported that Glenn Maxwell was released by Punjab Kings before the auction and he did not submit his name for this year’s auction. Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik has already retired from the IPL.
Thus, with both players not participating this season, the pressure on Rohit Sharma has increased. If he makes even a slight mistake, he could top this unwanted record.
Rohit is the second-highest run-scorer in IPL
Rohit Sharma is considered one of the most successful batsmen in IPL history. He has scored 7046 runs in 272 matches so far, with an average of around 30 and a strike rate of over 132. He ranks second in terms of most runs scored in this league.
Virat Kohli is at the top of this list, having scored 8661 runs in 259 innings across 267 matches.
Rohit Sharma has been extremely successful not only in batting but also in captaincy. Under his captaincy, Mumbai Indians have won the IPL title 5 times, which places him among the most successful captains in the league.
