In cricket, when a player gets a chance to bat, he looks to contribute big to his team. But sometimes, the contrary happens as he/she gets dismissed for a duck.

For any batter, losing a wicket on zero is no less than a nightmare as he/she always strives to deliver his/her best to the team. Nowadays, with the presence of T20 Internationals (T20Is), it has become mandatory for batters to score runs swiftly, and this thing sometimes proves a bane for batters as they lose their wickets without scoring any runs in a haste.

However, some names such as David Miller, MS Dhoni, and Shoaib Malik boast their batting capability, making it to the list of T20I batters with the most consecutive innings without a duck. Similarly, some cricketing legends have proven their brilliance with their bats by maintaining this incredible streak in all forms of the sport.

Here are 10 batters with the most consecutive innings without a duck:

Sir Clive Lloyd is considered the most successful captain in the history of One Day cricket along with Australia’s Ricky Ponting. Under his leadership, the Caribbean team won the World Cup twice in 1975 and 1979. Along with captaincy, Lloyd was also known for his remarkable batting skills.

With his outstanding batting talent, Lloyd established himself as a reliable middle-order batter in the Windies team. In 197 international contests, he scored 9,492 runs with 20 centuries and 50 half-centuries. From December 29, 1979, to August 9, 1984, the former legendary batter aggregated 3,670 runs in 98 innings of 93 matches, without getting out for a naught.&nbsp;

In his 19 years of international career, Lloyd lost his wicket on zero only five times. The former Windies player received knighthood for his service to the sport from the Duke of Cambridge Prince William at the Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom (UK) in January 2022.&nbsp;

In international cricket, Mohammad Yousuf earned respect from cricket fans for his mind-boggling batting performances for Pakistan. In his vast stint with his national team for 12 years, Yousuf showcased his batting skills a lot of times with his match-winning displays.&nbsp;

After his retirement as well, Yousuf is the third-most successful run-getter for Pakistan following Inzamam-ul-Haq and Younis Khan. In 374 international appearances, he smashed 17,134 with 39 centuries and 95 fifties for his national team. From January 2006 to November 2009, Yousuf played 91 innings without bagging any ducks in 103 international games.

In all these appearances, the batting maestro also delivered a scintillating display with his bat making 4,685 runs. After having a successful career as a player for Pakistan, now, he is associated with the national team as a batting coach since July 2022.&nbsp;<br>

The star batter Virat Kohli has delivered a lot of powerful shows with his bat to India in his career. Currently, he is the most successful batter in international cricket and his numbers in all three forms of the sport corroborate the fact. In December 2022, he shattered the former Australia captain Ricky Ponting's record of 71 centuries scoring his 72nd international ton against Bangladesh in the Chittagong ODI.

Now, after witnessing their batting maestro regaining form, his fans are expecting him to be spunky and consistent with his bat. From 2014-18, Kohli shone in international cricket as he registered tons of batting records to his name. From August 30, 2014, to February 9, 2017, Kohli amassed 5,520 runs in 104 innings of 90 matches.&nbsp;

During this period, he consistently scored runs and maintained his record of not getting dismissed for a duck. However, he couldn’t keep the streak intact as Australia speedster Mitchell Starc scalped his wicket on zero in the Pune Test in February 2017. &nbsp;So far, the veteran has got dismissed for a duck 33 times in his international career.

Faf du Plessis is one of the most prolific batters in international cricket. The veteran took retirement from Tests to focus on the shortest form of the game - T20 cricket. Currently, he is not active in international cricket for South Africa after playing his last Test match against Pakistan in February 2021.

However, his fans witness his glimpse in the cash-rich Indian Premier League often, where he leads Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as their captain. Back in January 2011, he made his international debut for South Africa against India in an ODI game in Cape Town. In his first match, he played a notable knock of 60 runs.

From his debut game on January 18, 2011, to November 23, 2014, du Plessis had an incredible journey in the international circuit. During this long period, he hit 3,707 runs in 99 matches, without any ducks in 108 innings. In December 2014, du Plessis couldn’t hold the streak as he got out on zero for the first time in his international career, in the first innings of the Centurion Test against the West Indies.

Javed Miandad was known for his fearless batting during the 1980s and the 90s. His unprecedented ability to dominate bowlers with his brilliant batting style is still remembered in Pakistan. The legendary batter broke into international cricket against the West Indies in June 1975 and became a huge name due to his super batting talent.

On July 23, 1987, to June 18, 1992, he appeared in 106 games for Pakistan and accumulated 4,876 runs that too without getting dismissed for a duck. However, in the second innings of the Lord’s Test in 1992, his streak broke as Chris Lewis removed him on zero after his 112 innings.&nbsp;

After the 1996 World Cup match against India in the quarter-final, Miandad hung his boots scoring 8,832 runs in 189 innings of 124 Tests. In ODIs, he ended up with 7,381 runs with eight hundreds and 50 half-centuries in 218 innings of 233 ODIs. From March to June 2004, the Pakistan great also gave his services to his national team as their coach.&nbsp;

Nowadays, the former New Zealand cricketer Jeremy Coney is active in cricket as a commentator. During the 1970s and the 80s, he was an important member of the Kiwi team due to his exceptional all-round skills. From 1979-87, he played 88 ODIs for New Zealand and scored 1,874 runs at a strike rate of 64.95.&nbsp;

In the longest form of the sport, he appeared in 52 games and racked up 2,668 runs with three tons and 16 half-centuries in 85 innings. In 1984, he got the captaincy mantle and won 13 and lost 20 with his leadership skills out of 40 matches. From 1983-87, the former right-hander delivered 117 innings to his team without giving his wicket on a naught.

Coney played his last international game against the West Indies on March 28, 1987, at Lancaster Park, Christchurch. He retired with the unbeatable record of the most consecutive knocks without a duck. However, the feat got shattered by the English batter Alec Stewart.

From 1987-2003, Carl Hooper was an important member of the West Indies squad. The Caribbean side won a lot of games for his team in his vast career with his bat. In the past, cricketing legends such as Wasim Akram and Shane Warne praised Hooper for his efficient batting style.

The former West Indies batter delivered his services to the West Indies team for sixteen years and piled up more than 11,000 runs as a batter. From December 6, 1997, to February 23, 2003, he scored 4,318 runs in 103 matches without getting out for a duck even once.

On February 28, 2003, he failed to show up with his bat scoring zero in the crucial game against Sri Lanka in the 2003 World Cup. With this disappointing appearance, he got out on a duck after playing 122 innings for the West Indies for almost five and a half years. The Windies team later also lost that game by a close margin of six runs.

Alec Stewart is counted among the best batters for England in international cricket. The wicketkeeper-batter served his national team for 14 years and accumulated more than 13,000 runs with his bat. In Test cricket, he is the fourth-highest run-getter for England with 8,463 runs in 235 innings of 133 matches.

In 2003, he took retirement from all forms of the sport after having a 14-year-long glorious cricketing career. During his stint in the international circuit, he pulled off some phenomenal feats as a batter. From March 17, 1994, to November 28, 1998, Stewart maintained a non-duck streak in international cricket.&nbsp;

The former England player achieved this feat after not giving his wicket away for a duck in135 innings of 99 games. In these four and a half years, he also notched up 5,119 runs with his bat. The streak broke in November 1998 in the Ashes as he got hunted on zero by Damien Fleming in the second innings of the Perth Test.

Sachin Tendulkar created dozens of records in his 24-year-old international career. After ten years of retirement as well, he is holding tons of batting records. In ODIs and Test formats, he is still the highest run-scorer with more than 34,000 runs. From 2008 to retirement, he played excellent cricket for India in both the longest-form of the sport.

During this period, he scored a double-century in ODIs and also played a major role in India’s World Cup win. However, in these five and a half years, he achieved another feat that people are unaware of. From July 23, 2008, to November 14, 2013 (till his retirement year), he not only came hard on bowlers playing fine knocks but also didn’t give his wicket away for a duck in 136 innings.

In November 2013, Tendulkar retired from international cricket with this unbeatable record. Currently, he is in the second position on the list of batters who didn’t get dismissed on a zero for the most consecutive times in international cricket.&nbsp;

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1675146282836_Rahul-Dravid.jpeg" alt="Rahul Dravid" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Rahul Dravid. (Photo Source: Patrick Eagar/Popperfoto via Getty Images/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Former India cricketer is serving the Indian cricket team as head coach with his vast experience and skills earned while playing for the nation. During his playing days, he created several records with his bat. In both One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Tests (Tests), he is present on the list of batters with the most runs scoring more than 10,000 runs.

Along with this record, Dravid has also created an incredible feat that hasn’t attracted many eyes. In the early 2000s, Dravid was in the top-notch form of his career, and getting his wicket was one of the most difficult tasks for bowlers. With his superb defense technique, he troubled his opponents and amassed a lot of runs for India in both ODI and Test formats.&nbsp;

From January 10, 2000, to February 06, 2004, Mr. Dependable played 173 innings for India and scored runs in every match, and became the batter with the most consecutive innings without scoring a duck. However, this amazing record came to an end on February 08, 2004, as he got run out for a duck against Australia in the second final of the VB Tri-Series 2004 in Sydney.

In the early 2000s, Dravid was in the top-notch form of his career, and getting his wicket was one of the most difficult tasks for bowlers. With his superb defense technique, he troubled his opponents and amassed a lot of runs for India in both ODI and Test formats.&nbsp;</p>
<p>From January 10, 2000, to February 06, 2004, Mr. Dependable played 173 innings for India and scored runs in every match, and became the batter with the most consecutive innings without scoring a duck. However, this amazing record came to an end on February 08, 2004, as he got run out for a duck against Australia in the second final of the VB Tri-Series 2004 in Sydney.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In cricket, when a player gets a chance to bat, he looks to contribute big to his team. But sometimes, the contrary happens as he/she gets dismissed for a duck.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For any batter, losing a wicket on zero is no less than a nightmare as he/she always strives to deliver his/her best to the team. Nowadays, with the presence of T20 Internationals (T20Is), it has become mandatory for batters to score runs swiftly, and this thing sometimes proves a bane for batters as they lose their wickets without scoring any runs in a haste.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, some names such as David Miller, MS Dhoni, and Shoaib Malik boast their batting capability, making it to the list of T20I batters with the most consecutive innings without a duck. Similarly, some cricketing legends have proven their brilliance with their bats by maintaining this incredible streak in all forms of the sport.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Here are 10 batters with the most consecutive innings without a duck:</h2>
<h3>10. Clive Lloyd</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sir Clive Lloyd is considered the most successful captain in the history of One Day cricket along with Australia’s Ricky Ponting. Under his leadership, the Caribbean team won the World Cup twice in 1975 and 1979. Along with captaincy, Lloyd was also known for his remarkable batting skills.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With his outstanding batting talent, Lloyd established himself as a reliable middle-order batter in the Windies team. In 197 international contests, he scored 9,492 runs with 20 centuries and 50 half-centuries. From December 29, 1979, to August 9, 1984, the former legendary batter aggregated 3,670 runs in 98 innings of 93 matches, without getting out for a naught.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In his 19 years of international career, Lloyd lost his wicket on zero only five times. The former Windies player received knighthood for his service to the sport from the Duke of Cambridge Prince William at the Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom (UK) in January 2022.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>9. Mohammad Yousuf</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In international cricket, Mohammad Yousuf earned respect from cricket fans for his mind-boggling batting performances for Pakistan. In his vast stint with his national team for 12 years, Yousuf showcased his batting skills a lot of times with his match-winning displays.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After his retirement as well, Yousuf is the third-most successful run-getter for Pakistan following Inzamam-ul-Haq and Younis Khan. In 374 international appearances, he smashed 17,134 with 39 centuries and 95 fifties for his national team. From January 2006 to November 2009, Yousuf played 91 innings without bagging any ducks in 103 international games.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In all these appearances, the batting maestro also delivered a scintillating display with his bat making 4,685 runs. After having a successful career as a player for Pakistan, now, he is associated with the national team as a batting coach since July 2022.&nbsp;<br></p>
<h3>8. Virat Kohli</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The star batter Virat Kohli has delivered a lot of powerful shows with his bat to India in his career. Currently, he is the most successful batter in international cricket and his numbers in all three forms of the sport corroborate the fact. In December 2022, he shattered the former Australia captain Ricky Ponting's record of 71 centuries scoring his 72nd international ton against Bangladesh in the Chittagong ODI.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, after witnessing their batting maestro regaining form, his fans are expecting him to be spunky and consistent with his bat. From 2014-18, Kohli shone in international cricket as he registered tons of batting records to his name. From August 30, 2014, to February 9, 2017, Kohli amassed 5,520 runs in 104 innings of 90 matches.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During this period, he consistently scored runs and maintained his record of not getting dismissed for a duck. However, he couldn’t keep the streak intact as Australia speedster Mitchell Starc scalped his wicket on zero in the Pune Test in February 2017. &nbsp;So far, the veteran has got dismissed for a duck 33 times in his international career.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>7. Faf du Plessis</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Faf du Plessis is one of the most prolific batters in international cricket. The veteran took retirement from Tests to focus on the shortest form of the game - T20 cricket. Currently, he is not active in international cricket for South Africa after playing his last Test match against Pakistan in February 2021.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, his fans witness his glimpse in the cash-rich Indian Premier League often, where he leads Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as their captain. Back in January 2011, he made his international debut for South Africa against India in an ODI game in Cape Town. In his first match, he played a notable knock of 60 runs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From his debut game on January 18, 2011, to November 23, 2014, du Plessis had an incredible journey in the international circuit. During this long period, he hit 3,707 runs in 99 matches, without any ducks in 108 innings. In December 2014, du Plessis couldn’t hold the streak as he got out on zero for the first time in his international career, in the first innings of the Centurion Test against the West Indies.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>6. Javed Miandad</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Javed Miandad was known for his fearless batting during the 1980s and the 90s. His unprecedented ability to dominate bowlers with his brilliant batting style is still remembered in Pakistan. The legendary batter broke into international cricket against the West Indies in June 1975 and became a huge name due to his super batting talent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On July 23, 1987, to June 18, 1992, he appeared in 106 games for Pakistan and accumulated 4,876 runs that too without getting dismissed for a duck. However, in the second innings of the Lord’s Test in 1992, his streak broke as Chris Lewis removed him on zero after his 112 innings.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the 1996 World Cup match against India in the quarter-final, Miandad hung his boots scoring 8,832 runs in 189 innings of 124 Tests. In ODIs, he ended up with 7,381 runs with eight hundreds and 50 half-centuries in 218 innings of 233 ODIs. From March to June 2004, the Pakistan great also gave his services to his national team as their coach.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>5.&nbsp;Jeremy Coney</h3>

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nowadays, the former New Zealand cricketer Jeremy Coney is active in cricket as a commentator. During the 1970s and the 80s, he was an important member of the Kiwi team due to his exceptional all-round skills. From 1979-87, he played 88 ODIs for New Zealand and scored 1,874 runs at a strike rate of 64.95.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the longest form of the sport, he appeared in 52 games and racked up 2,668 runs with three tons and 16 half-centuries in 85 innings. In 1984, he got the captaincy mantle and won 13 and lost 20 with his leadership skills out of 40 matches. From 1983-87, the former right-hander delivered 117 innings to his team without giving his wicket on a naught.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coney played his last international game against the West Indies on March 28, 1987, at Lancaster Park, Christchurch. He retired with the unbeatable record of the most consecutive knocks without a duck. However, the feat got shattered by the English batter Alec Stewart.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>4. Carl Hooper</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From 1987-2003, Carl Hooper was an important member of the West Indies squad. The Caribbean side won a lot of games for his team in his vast career with his bat. In the past, cricketing legends such as Wasim Akram and Shane Warne praised Hooper for his efficient batting style.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The former West Indies batter delivered his services to the West Indies team for sixteen years and piled up more than 11,000 runs as a batter. From December 6, 1997, to February 23, 2003, he scored 4,318 runs in 103 matches without getting out for a duck even once.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On February 28, 2003, he failed to show up with his bat scoring zero in the crucial game against Sri Lanka in the 2003 World Cup. With this disappointing appearance, he got out on a duck after playing 122 innings for the West Indies for almost five and a half years. The Windies team later also lost that game by a close margin of six runs.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>3. Alec Stewart</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alec Stewart is counted among the best batters for England in international cricket. The wicketkeeper-batter served his national team for 14 years and accumulated more than 13,000 runs with his bat. In Test cricket, he is the fourth-highest run-getter for England with 8,463 runs in 235 innings of 133 matches.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2003, he took retirement from all forms of the sport after having a 14-year-long glorious cricketing career. During his stint in the international circuit, he pulled off some phenomenal feats as a batter. From March 17, 1994, to November 28, 1998, Stewart maintained a non-duck streak in international cricket.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The former England player achieved this feat after not giving his wicket away for a duck in135 innings of 99 games. In these four and a half years, he also notched up 5,119 runs with his bat. The streak broke in November 1998 in the Ashes as he got hunted on zero by Damien Fleming in the second innings of the Perth Test.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>2. Sachin Tendulkar</h3>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sachin Tendulkar created dozens of records in his 24-year-old international career. After ten years of retirement as well, he is holding tons of batting records. In ODIs and Test formats, he is still the highest run-scorer with more than 34,000 runs. From 2008 to retirement, he played excellent cricket for India in both the longest-form of the sport.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During this period, he scored a double-century in ODIs and also played a major role in India’s World Cup win. However, in these five and a half years, he achieved another feat that people are unaware of. From July 23, 2008, to November 14, 2013 (till his retirement year), he not only came hard on bowlers playing fine knocks but also didn’t give his wicket away for a duck in 136 innings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In November 2013, Tendulkar retired from international cricket with this unbeatable record. Currently, he is in the second position on the list of batters who didn’t get dismissed on a zero for the most consecutive times in international cricket.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>1. Rahul Dravid&nbsp;</h3>

During his playing days, he created several records with his bat. In both One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Tests (Tests), he is present on the list of batters with the most runs scoring more than 10,000 runs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along with this record, Dravid has also created an incredible feat that hasn’t attracted many eyes. In the early 2000s, Dravid was in the top-notch form of his career, and getting his wicket was one of the most difficult tasks for bowlers. With his superb defense technique, he troubled his opponents and amassed a lot of runs for India in both ODI and Test formats.&nbsp;</p>
