Rohit Sharma nears unwanted batting record ahead of IPL 2024

Dinesh Karthik, who is currently leading the table for most number of ducks will soon lose his position to Rohit Sharma at the top of the table.

Rohit Sharma, who recently lost his captaincy for Mumbai Indians, might have another unwanted news to his name. The Indian skipper, who has navigated MI towards five trophies, will no longer arrive for the toss after Hardik Pandya took over the captaincy of MI. After losing captaincy, it doesn’t seem everything right for Rohit Sharma as the opener-batsman is nearing an unwanted record to his name in the IPL 2024.

Dinesh Karthik, who is currently leading the table for most number of ducks will soon lose his position to Rohit Sharma at the top of the table. Dinesh Karthik is presently leading the ranking with 17 ducks in his IPL career while Rohit Sharma is second on the chart with 16 ducks. Dinesh Karthik has played 242 matches, so far, with 17 ducks while Sharma has played 238 matches with 16 ducks.

The former MI skipper might want to avoid an unwanted batting record in the league after failing miserably last season to help MI reach knockouts. Among the top-5 most number of ducks, Dinesh Karthik leads the chart, followed by Rohit Sharma, Sunil Narine, Mandeep Singh, and Rashid Khan.

Rohit Sharma had a decent test series against England with two centuries in 5-matches. The explosive batsman will look to continue his blazing form in IPL 2024, helping MI win their sixth title.
