10 strangest scorecards cricket has witnessed
While a few numbers in cricket bring on a smile on our face, some will make us break our heads as to how that even transpired.
6. Three 100s and Five ducks
In the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal fixture between Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh in 2014, a very strange incident took place which made people stare at the scorecard in disbelief. Karnataka batted first and piled up 349 runs in 100.5 overs, with Robin Uthappa, Karun Nair and CM Gautham scoring centuries.
Interestingly, all the three batters who scored a century got out exactly on 100 and there were five batsmen in the Karnataka line up who registered a duck. KL Rahul, Ravikumar Samarth, Shreyas Gopal, Manish Pandey and Abhimanyu Mithun walked back without troubling the scorers at all.
Uttar Pradesh gave a tough fight to the powerhouse side, but Karnataka eventually sailed through with a 94-run win. They also went on to win the Ranji Trophy, beating Maharashtra in the final.
