Sunil Narine Records Most Ducks In T20 After Bumrah's Swing Yorker
In a recent match that captivated cricket enthusiasts around the globe, Kolkata Knight Riders' Sunil Narine found himself at the center of an unfortunate spotlight during the IPL 2024 clash against Mumbai Indians. The match, held at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on May 11, saw Narine setting a record he would have preferred to avoid. Facing Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah, Narine was dismissed for a golden duck, marking a momentous yet unwanted milestone in his T20 career.Bumrah, known for his lethal deliveries, bowled a yorker that swung in late, ultimately dismantling Narine's off stump. This delivery came in the very first ball of the second over, leaving Narine, who had been performing exceptionally well with the bat up to that point, without an answer. The dismissal led to Narine's slow walk back to the dugout, a moment captured and shared widely across social media platforms.This particular dismissal was not just another out for Narine but marked his 44th duck in men's T20 cricket. This unfortunate achievement propelled him past England's Alex Hales, who previously held the record with 43 ducks. Narine's new record places him at the top of an illustrious yet dubious list of cricketers with the most ducks in the T20 format.
