When India’s all-format captain, Rohit Sharma, returned to the legendary Wankhede Stadium on Monday for the Mumbai Indians‘ (MI) Indian Premier League (IPL) season 2024 home opener, a lot was expected of him. Referred to as the league’s enduring slow starters, Hardik’s MI faced Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals (RR) in game number 14 of the competition at Wankhede Stadium.
However, Rohit failed miserably in his first outing at Wankhede in IPL 2024, scoring a duck and taking the unwanted record of most ducks in IPL’s history home. Rohit now has 17 IPL ducks and we’ve found a compilation of each one of them.

Mandeep Singh (16), Glenn Maxwell (16), and Sunil Narine (16) are among the other names on the list.
