Suryakumar Yadav becomes the first Indian and the second player worldwide to have three straight ODI golden ducks, know the list of the players with most consecutive golden ducks in international cricket
The explosive Yadav is a player that can play anywhere on the field in the shortest white-ball format, but he hasn’t yet shown himself in the 50-over game.
At the third One-Day International between India and Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, Suryakumar Yadav became the first Indian player to be dismissed for golden ducks in three straight innings.
List of players with most consecutive golden ducks in ODI cricket and by an Indian in international cricket
Suryakumar Yadav, who is almost 33 years old, is not the first Indian to achieve the embarrassing feat in terms of international cricket because Washington Sundar did the same during T20Is between December 2019 and January 2020.
Sundar was removed for a golden duck in three straight innings during three separate series against the West Indies, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand.
India vs Australia ODI series was rough for SKY, who went winless on six days in Mumbai and Vishakapatnam.
The talented middle-order batsman, who was dismissed for three consecutive ducks, became the only Indian to do so, joining batting greats Sachin Tendulkar (1994), Anil Kumble (1994), Zaheer Khan (2003–04), Ishant Sharma (2010–11), and Jasprit Bumrah (2017-19).
Former pacer Ajit Agarkar holds the record for the most consecutive Test ducks in all formats for both India and the rest of the world with five.
In the series finals, India was 185/5 and chasing 270 when Suryakumar produced his third golden duck. With India down by 50 runs, Virat Kohli went back to the pavilion.
SKY had trouble reading a skidder that landed on the off stump and kept low to smash the wicket against Agar, who bowled a brilliant spell that kept Kohli on his toes for much of the game.
Before it, Steve Smith chose to bat first after winning the toss, and Australia was bowled for 269 runs in 49 overs.
Mitchell Marsh, who started the series and had half-centuries in the previous two games, hit a 47, and Alex Carey (38) and Travis Head (33) also made significant contributions.
Mohammad Siraj (2/37) and Axar Patel (2/56) were among the wicket-takers along with Hardik Pandya (3/44) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/56) among Indian bowlers.
