Two Indian batsmen with 50-plus T20 innings but no ducks in their career
Irrespective of the format of the game, irrespective of a batsman’s stature, scoring a duck is not something that a willow wielder will be proud of. Walking back to the pavilion without troubling the scorers is definitely not a good feeling for any batsman.
But then, there are a select few cricketers who have not scored even a single duck in spite of featuring in more than 50 matches in the T20 format of the game. In this article, let us take a look at an exclusive list of 2 cricketers who have always managed to trouble the scorers every time they have walked out to the middle with a willow in hand.
2. Virat Singh
Virat Singh never ever recorded a duck in T20 cricket. The left-hander has played 62 innings in T20 cricket and has amassed 1813 runs at a very good average of 37.00. He also strikes the ball at a decent strike rate of 127.22. Virat has also scored 11 fifties and a century in the T20 format of the game. These are still early days in Virat Singh’s career, and he still has a long way to go in his cricketing journey. Currently, Virat Singh is a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League.

1. Rahul Tewatia
After his exploits in the 2020 edition of the IPL, Rahul Tewatia has now become a familiar figure in the country. In fact, Tewatia shot to fame after he smashed Sheldon Cottrell for 5 consecutive sixes in the 2020 edition of the IPL and helped the Rajasthan Royals pull off an improbable victory against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) outfit.
Tewatia has played a total of 55 T20 innings and has scored 1006 runs at an average of 30.48 and a strike rate of 148.37. And, another feat that he can be proud of is the fact that he has never scored a duck in the T20 format of the game. In the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the left-hander is a part of the Sanju Samson led Rajasthan Royals (RR) outfit.
