In the T20 World Cup 2026 match against the Netherlands, Team India's star opening batsman Abhishek Sharma departed on a three-ball duck
This also marked his third duck in the ongoing global showpiece. With this, he has joined the unwanted list of batsmen with the most ducks in a single calendar year in the shortest format of the game
With the latest dismissal, the left-handed batsman has registered five ducks in T20 Internationals in 2026
Sharma, who has now five ducks as an opener, has the second-most alongside Chaloemwong Chatphaisan (Thailand, 2024), Kushal Bhurtel (Nepal, 2024), Dharma Kesuma (Indonesia, 2025) and Parvez Hossain Emon (Bangladesh, 2025), all with five ducks apiece
