Australia’s opening batter, Usman Khawaja, bagged an unwanted record on Wednesday during the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 final against South Africa at Lord’s Cricket Ground.
Khawaja registered his fifth duck in WTC history, joining the likes of India’s Shubman Gill and South Africa’s Dean Elgar on the list of batters with the most ducks in the tournament.
On the opening day of the WTC final, the left-hander was dismissed for a 20-ball duck in the seventh over by South African pacer Kagiso Rabada.
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah currently holds the record for the most ducks in WTC history, having been dismissed for zero 20 times. Among Pakistani players, Shaheen Afridi leads with 8 ducks.
