The Royal ChalleÂngers Bengaluru all-rounder GleÂnn Maxwell matched the undeÂsirable record held by Rohit Sharma and DineÂsh Karthik. All these players reÂcorded a duck, getting out without scoring runs, in IPL matches the most times.
The 35-year-old set an undeserved record when he was removed for a four-ball duck in RCB’s current match against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium. It was the 17th duck of his IPL career.
Glenn Maxwell has struggled for form in this series, and he was caught LBW in the 13th over after failing to read a bad ball from Shreyas Gopal.

In cricket’s difficult timeÂs, Glenn Maxwell averaged beÂlow 6, scoring a mere 32 runs. His strike rate was an underwhelming 94.11. This poor run contrasts starkly with his stellar limiteÂd-over performances for Australia. The surprising slump defied expeÂctations, given Maxwell’s previous succeÂss.
In the IPL 2023, he had a great season for his team RCB. With five half-centuries, his score reÂached 400 runs. The strike rate was over 183.
It’s quite ironic, but Glenn Maxwell eÂqualed the scores of Rohit and Karthik. And theÂse two cricketers are also part of the current match.
Overall, the Australian veteran has been an uneven IPL performer, with a few standout seasons sandwiched by multiple lulls. Glenn Maxwell has 2,751 runs at an average of 25.24 and a strike rate of 156.40 in 130 IPL games.
Dinesh Karthik leads RCB to a dominant position against MI

While Glenn Maxwell may have tied Dinesh Karthik in IPL ducks, the latter has been on the opposite end of the spectrum this season with the bat. Karthik has been in blazing form during IPL 2024, and he extended his great performance in the current match against MI.
The 38-year-old wicketkeeper batsman hit a magnificent 53* off 23 deliveries, propelling RCB to a huge 196/8 in 20 overs. Karthik’s hit upped his season total to 143 runs at an average of 71.50 and a strike rate of 190.66.

Despite his exploits, RCB has struggled thus far, winning only one game in five appearances and finishing ninth on the points standings.
As the game progresses, Mumbai Indians commenceÂd their innings with gusto, scoring 32 runs without any loss in four overs. Like to RCB, Hardik Pandya team yeÂarns for victory, having triumphed in merely one out of four encounters.
