Most Ducks Test Opener: Rory Burns, with his first-ball duck yesterday, has become the first-ever Test opener with the most number of ducks to his name in a calendar year! Here is a list of other such openers!
#3 – Michael Atherton (ENG)
Athers is known to the current generation of cricket fans as one of the best analysts of the game. However, during his playing days, he has held many records.
One record he will not be proud of, though, is that he once scored 5 ducks in the year 1998 in Tests!
#2 – Pankaj Roy (IND)
The Indian opener from the 1950s also has a dubious record to his name, which he shares with Atherton.
In the year 1952, Roy also scored 5 ducks in Tests, making him the only Indian on this dubious list.
