In cricket, not all records are about hitting the most sixes or taking the most wickets. Some records are kind of unlucky and a bit funny too. Let's check out some of these 'oops' moments that some cricketers might wish they didn't have.
King of Ducks - A 'duck' is when you get out without scoring any runs. Courtney Walsh, a great bowler, holds the record for the most ducks. He was better at taking wickets than scoring runs!
Giving Away Too Many Runs - Robin Peterson once had a tough time bowling. Brian Lara hit him for 28 runs in just one over. That’s a lot of runs from just six balls!
Missed Chances by the Wicketkeeper - Wicketkeepers try to catch or stump batters out. Kamran Akmal, however, holds the record for missing quite a few stumpings. Everyone has off days, right?
Dropping the Ball - Catching is super important in cricket. Even the best can drop the ball, like Rahul Dravid, who once dropped a few catches in one game.
Sticking Around and Then Getting Out for Zero - Imagine being on the field for a long time and then getting out without scoring. Geoff Allott did this, staying for 77 minutes but not scoring a single run.
Cricket isn't always about the shiny records; sometimes it's about these not-so-lucky ones. And for cricket fans, chatting about these funny records on a sports fantasy app or reading about them in sports news can be a fun part of following the game.
