Abdullah Shafique (4 ducks)

Abdullah Shafique is the only player to register four consecutive ducks in a row. 

  • His first duck came just in his second T20I match. Pakistan toured New Zealand for a three-match T20I series in December 2020. In the first T20I, debutant, Jaccob Duffy dismissed Shafique for a silver duck.
  • Batting at number three, Shafique was dismissed for a silver duck once again. Tim Southee induced a top-edge from Shafique and then caught the ball to complete the dismissal.
  • After a hiatus of almost three years, Shafique once again made a return to the T20I team. Pakistan and Afghanistan clashed in a three-match T20I series in March 2023. Shafique’s fortune did not change as he was once again dismissed for a silver duck. Azmatullah Omarzai trapped the Pakistani batter in front of the stumps.
  • In the following match against Afghanistan, the only thing that changed for Shafique was the number of balls he faced. For a change, Shafique was dismissed for a golden duck via LBW by Fazalhaq Farooqi.
