However, there is also a far less well-known record for the most ducks (runs scored 0).

The batsmen who were out for 0 runs are those who were dismissed the most frequently during the history of the IPL.

Since no other league permits players, even bowlers, to go for boundaries as soon as they enter the pitch, the Indian Premier League is a batter’s paradise.

But recklessness can sometimes result from a desire to score many runs quickly and explosively. Players commonly get out for 0 runs when under match pressure and in bad form.

This is the worst-case scenario for any batsman in cricket and is referred to as a “duck.”

Today, we talk about the players who have accumulated the most ducks throughout the history of the IPL.

Zero Runs Scores in IPL

The worst psychological blow a batsman can experience is being out for zero runs, especially if they are in the top order where they have the most responsibility.

While batsmen’s average batting time in the IPL is far less than it is in other forms of cricket, they nevertheless enter the pitch hoping to score big runs and make an impact.

The majority of players show up, try as many runs as they can, and then go. Even the pitchers bat aggressively in the IPL which follows a T20 format.

When entertainment is prioritised in the IPL, nothing excites the fans more than a boundary.

But in this intense battle to make an impression, the players start to play carelessly. This luxury of not assessing the pitch or settling down takes place in T20 cricket already.

Additionally, if a batsman is out of form and not in his element, he will crumble under the pressure of the IPL.

Famous and elite batters have been out on the first pitch they faced. This is known as a duck in cricket, but most people have never heard the term.
