Most Ducks by Teams: With Joe Root’s duck, England reached to 46 ducks in 2021 in Tests! Here are 5 teams with most individual ducks in a calendar year!
#5 – India (2018)
The year 2018 was a tough one for India. They started with a tour to South Africa, then travelled to England in August, and capped off the year with a tour to Australia.
All 3 places are not ones where Indian batters traditionally do well. Hence, there were a string of low scores. India racked up 39 ducks in that year!
#4 – Australia (1999)
The year 1999 was when the Aussies won their second ODI World Cup, and their first in what would turn out to be a hat-trick of ODI World Cup victories!
It was also the year when in the longest format, the Aussies struggled with their batters cumulatively scoring as many as 40 ducks!

#2 – England (2021)
