Mandeep Singh equalled Rohit Sharma’s record for most ducks in the Indian Premier League on Thursday.
Mandeep added another duck to his tally of 13 as he departed in the first over of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Both Rohit and Mandeep now sit on 14 ducks each.
This was Mandeep’s first outing this season and he was beautifully set-up by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The SRH pacer bowled a couple of out swing deliveries to start with and then followed it up with some in-swing balls. Mandeep failed to score off the first four balls and as the pressure mounted he poked at an outswinger, a touch wide, and got an outside edge to the keeper.
Bhuvneshwar ended up bowling a wicket maiden over.
As of now, six players — Piyush Chawla, Harbhajan Singh, Parthiv Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik — are on 13 ducks.
Rohit Sharma had registered his 14th duck in the 33rd match of IPL 2022 against CSK. He was removed by Mukesh Choudhary for a two-ball duck.
After the early departure of Mandeep, Warner went on the counter attack and hit a brilliant 92 not out off 58 balls. He along with Rovman powell (67 off 35 balls) powered DC to 207/3.
