Even legends misfire. In IPL 2025, Dhoni took 19 balls to hit his first boundary vs Delhi—his slowest ever start and a rare scratchy knock from Thala.

Opening in IPL 2025 for KKR, Moeen crawled to 4 off 11 vs Rajasthan Royals. It was among the slowest knocks by a KKR opener—completely out of rhythm.

Maxwell’s golden duck vs Gujarat in IPL 2025 marked his 19th overall—surpassing Rohit and DK. Not the kind of record a player of his talent wants remembered.

Returning in IPL 2025, Archer leaked 76 runs in 4 overs vs Sunrisers—now the worst-ever figures in IPL history. A nightmare spell from a world-class bowler.

Turner began his IPL career in 2019 with three consecutive ducks. Including T20s before, he had five in a row—setting a record no batter dreams of owning.

In 2018, Thampi was hammered for 70 runs in 4 overs against RCB. No wickets. Just relentless punishment. A record-breaking low for the Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer.

RCB’s powerful lineup collapsed for just 49 runs in 2017—still the lowest IPL total. Not one player crossed double digits. A dark day in Bengaluru’s cricket history.

Mumbai posted 212; Delhi crumbled to 66. The result? A 146-run loss—the biggest in IPL history. Just three players crossed 10 runs. A historic humiliation for Delhi.

Gambhir, KKR’s trusted skipper, began IPL 2014 with three straight ducks. He faced 13 balls without scoring. Fans and critics alike were stunned by the shocking slump.

In a wild 2008 clash, Deccan Chargers bowled 28 extras—including 16 wides and 12 no-balls. It’s still among the most undisciplined bowling displays ever in the IPL.
