5 players with most golden ducks in Test cricket

#2 Rangana Herath: 11

Rangana Herath

He may have been under the giant shadow of Muttiah Muralitharan for the major part of his career but over the past decade or so, Rangana Herath has firmly established himself as Sri Lanka’s number 1 bowler. On the other hand, his status as a pretty ordinary number 11 has also been cemented over the course of his career, that first began in 1999.

Now, it is important to note that Herath had in fact scored an 80 not out once in his career but that does not quite paper over his record of scoring 2 ducks in 89 Test matches so far.

Out of those ducks, 11 have been golden ducks that makes him the cricketer with the 2nd highest number of such ducks in Test history. The percentage of golden ducks in his career stands at 8.03 and his career isn’t finished yet.
