First Time In 48 Years! Suryakumar Yadav Claims Embarrassing Record Against Australia
It was a series to forget for Suryakumar Yadav as the talented right-hander failed to open his account in all three matches against Australia. The 32-year-old, who was given the role of a finisher in the third ODI match in Chennai, was dismissed by Ashton Agar on the very first ball and in the process, he became the first Indian cricketer in history to be dismissed for first-ball ducks in all matches of an ODI series. He was dismissed by Mitchell Starc in the previous two encounters. Overall, he became the sixth Indian batsman after Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Anil Kumble to score three consecutive ducks in ODI cricket. The world record for most successive ducks in ODI cricket is 4.
