Although the Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper, Rohit Sharma has been one of the elite batters in limited-over cricket, he hasn’t been up to his best in IPL history. He continued his struggle registering his 15th duck in the history of IPL and entering the list of players with the most ducks in the competition’s history.
Chasing a mammoth target of 215 against Punjab Kings, MI witnessed an unfortunate start as their skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the first over without scoring a run. It was a heavy blow for the visiting team and the MI captain also received a lot of flack from the fans as he reached a milestone anyone would have liked to achieve.

Rishi Dhawan was opening the bowling for PBKS and Rohit decided to go all guns blazing at him on the third ball of the over. The bowled a good length delivery outside off and the veteran batter walked down the track to play an aerial shot. It was well wide of the reach of Rohit but he still managed to lift it behind square.
The ball flew over off-side and the fielder positioned at backward point in deep caught it with ease. Also, Rohit Sharma earned an unfortunate achievement to his name by becoming the joint leader in the list of batters who have scored the most ducks (15) in IPL history.
Here is the video of the dismissal of Rohit Sharma:
Punjab Kings (Playing XI): Prabhsimran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan (c), Matthew Short, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rishi Dhawan, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
