IPL: 5 PLAYERS WITH FOUR DUCKS IN AN IPL SEASON

Getting out at zero runs is very awkward for a player as no one expects him to get out with making a run. But still, many times even great players get out on zero. Many times, the player might be out of form or having some kind of pressure on him because of which, he couldn’t play well. 

Sometimes, players get the duck out without any mistake of him. The player tries to take a run and either he gets run out or he gets another run-out. We have listed some of the players in the history of the Indian Premier League who got out most of the time in a single season at zero.
