Most Ducks in T20 World Cup

In the T20 format, the batters have all the freedom to go berserk from the outset of the innings. They are allowed to take any kind of risk while attempting to score maximum runs for the team in minimum deliveries. However, this rush of blood may lead them to endure a terrible outing as they fail to get off the mark.

Regardless of the format, getting out for a duck is the worst feeling a batter can experience on the field. On the other hand, these are the rare moments in T20 cricket that bowlers get to cherish. From youngsters to veterans, almost every batter would have failed to open their account at least once in their careers.

However, it is an embarrassment and long-time regret feeling for a batter to have a '0' next to his name in major tournaments like the World Cup. Registering a duck would be the worst thing to do when his team expects him to bring out his best on the biggest stage. Legendary Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has topped the list of most ducks in T20 World Cup history (5 ducks in 34 matches).
