Royal Challengers Bangalore's star batter Glenn Maxwell has equaled teammate Dinesh Karthik's record for the most ducks in IPL history. 

This unfortunate milestone occurred during RCB's high-stakes IPL 2024 Eliminator match against Rajasthan Royals.

Maxwell's dismissal for a golden duck came at the hands of seasoned off-spinner R Ashwin, who outfoxed the Australian with a clever delivery. Maxwell's shot found its way straight to Dhruv Jurel stationed at long-on, adding to the frustration of RCB fans.

During the current Eliminator round match featuring RCB and RR, the Challengers posted a total of 172 runs, losing eight wickets in the first innings.

The winner of this thrilling encounter will advance to face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the crucial second Qualifier at the iconic M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) solidified their position in the IPL 2024 final after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by eight wickets in the first Qualifier.

Most ducks in IPL:

  • Glenn Maxwell - 18
  • Dinesh Karthik - 18
  • Rohit Sharma - 17
  • Piyush Chawla - 15
  • Mandeep Singh - 15
  • Sunil Narine - 15
