19 Ducks In IPL: Glenn Maxwell Commits DRS Blunder For Unwanted Milestone, Ricky Ponting's Reaction Says It All

When Punjab Kings bought Glenn Maxwell at the IPL 2025 auction, the expectations were sky high from the Australian power-hitter. However, his first match for his old franchise was a forgettable one as he got out for a golden duck as he went for a reverse sweep on his first ball against Sai Kishore and was adjudged LBW. To make matters worse, replays showed the ball was missing the stumps but Maxwell did not go for the DRS. Also, this was his 19th duck in the IPL - most for any batter.

Talking about the match, Skipper Shreyas Iyer began his stint at Punjab Kings with a scintillating 42-ball unbeaten 97 to power his team to an imposing 243 for five against Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League match on Tuesday. Shreyas struck as many as nine sixes and five fours but he could not get to his maiden IPL hundred, as Shashank Singh (44 off 16 balls) took 23 runs off the final over to end the PBKS innings on a high note.

Shashank hit six fours and two sixes during his brilliant cameo.

Earlier, caring very little for reputation, Priyansh Arya (47 off 23) went after the GT bowling from the get go.

Arya, who was bought by PBKS for Rs 3.8 crore at the last IPL auction, clobbered Mohammed Siraj over deep square leg for his first six and followed it up with a four.

Kagiso Rabada made the first breakthrough when he had Prabhsimran Singh caught in the deep, paving the way
