On Friday against Punjab Kings, the Rajasthan Royals’ opening player accomplished a regrettable feat by going scoreless.
The 2023 Indian Premier League season has gotten off to a strong start for Jos Buttler of the Rajasthan Royals, just like his team. However, as the season went on, both players struggled with inconsistent play; while Buttler recorded an unwelcome IPL achievement, Royals are all but out of contention for the playoffs. He had the most ducks in a single season (5) after being dismissed on 0 in the team’s final league encounter against Punjab Kings on Friday night.

All of the players with four IPL ducks to their names in a season were Herschelle Gibbs (Deccan Chargers, 2009), Mithun Manhas (Pune Warriors India, 2011), Manish Pandey (Sunrisers Hyderabad, 2012), Shikhar Dhawan (Delhi Capitals, 2020), Nicholas Pooran (Sunrisers Hyderabad, 2021), and Eoin Morgan (Kolkata Knight Riders, 2021).
