7 Renowned Batsmen Who Have Scored More Ducks Than Hundreds In ODIs

Over the past two decades, the ODIs have seen great transformation in terms of scoring rate. The batsmen have found new ways of scoring, mercilessly killing bowlers’ confidence. Despite scoring rapidly, there are few players who hold the unfortunate record of scoring more ducks then centuries in their respective ODI career. Calling them ordinary players will be a mistake as their track record speak for themselves. Here is the list of great players who have scored more ODI ducks than 100s.

SANATH JAYASURIYA

Considered as one of the greatest ODI players of all time, Jayasuriya was well known for his powerful striking and match winning all-round performances in One Day International cricket. He is credited for having revolutionized ODI cricket with his explosive batting with Romesh Kaluwitharana in 1996, which initiated the hard-hitting modern day batting strategy of all nations. Jayasuriya was an all-rounder, who had an international cricket career that spread over two decades. He is the only player to score over 12,000 runs and capture more than 300 wickets in One Day International cricket. Despite his impressive statistics, he went on to get dismissed 34 times without troubling the scorers while registering 28 tons. This unusual record shows he is also a human who is prone to mistakes and shortcomings.
