On Wednesday, Suryakumar was castled by left-arm spinner Ashton for a first-ball 0 in the series finale of the 3-match ODI series in Chennai.
It was the third successive time Suryakumar Yadav got out for a golden duck in the ongoing ODI series. Suryakumar set an unwanted record as he became the first Indian batter to be dismissed for first-ball ducks in all matches of an ODI series.
Notably, Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Anil Kumble also have bagged 3 successive ducks in ODI cricket. The world record for most successive ducks in ODIs is 4. Lasith Malinga, Craig White and Henry Olonga are among the 5 batters who have achieved the said feat. Suryakumar Yadav was out for first-ball ducks in the Mumbai and Visakhapatnam ODIs to Mitchell Starc. He was trapped LBW by Starc’s inswingers in both matches.
