5 India Players Who Were Out For Duck In 3 Consecutive ODI Innings: Suryakumar Yadav has been in news for all the wrong reasons at the moment. Not very long ago, the right-handed batsman was receiving praise from all over for his stunning exploits in T20I cricket.
The consistent displays in the shortest format of the game also saw him become the number one T20I batsman in the world. Earlier this year, he was also named the ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year after enjoying one of the best years any player has had in the format’s history.
However, things have not really panned out in an expected manner for him in the other formats. Last month, he made his debut in Tests against Australia and was out for just 8 runs. It was followed by a disastrous performance in the recently-concluded three-match ODI series against the same opposition.
In all three games, he was out for a golden duck. In the first two games, Mitchell Starc pinned him in front of the stumps before Ashton Agar casted him in the series-decider. Unsurprisingly, Suryakumar Yadav is not only facing criticism for his poor show but is also being ridiculed for registering three ducks on trot.
Well, he is not the first Indian cricketer to achieve this unwanted feat. And as the star batsman faces criticism for his performance, we are taking a look at other Indian cricketers who registered three ducks in as many games.

1. Sachin Tendulkar:
One of the most decorated batsmen in the history of the game, Sachin Tendulkar also had to endure a very tough phase when he registered three ducks on the trot. The highest run-scorer and century maker in international cricket, Tendulkar was out for three ducks in a row in the year 1994. The first one came against Sri Lanka before he registered two more ducks in his next two ODI innings against West Indies.
