Let's have a look at certain top players in the IPL 2022, who have got out for a duck.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is near its business end and teams are fighting for the top 3 spots, with one already taken by Gujarat Titans (GT).
While the franchises are making sure to put their best game forward, there are some prolific players, who could have done much much better for their teams but aren't able to do so.
While being out of form is bad, its worst went the batter gets out for a golden or even diamond duck. So, let's have a look at certain top players in the IPL 2022, who have got out for a duck.
1. Virat Kohli
)
Former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli has had a forgetable season so far. To make things worst, he has got out for first-ball ducks more than once.
Kohli has been dismissed for three golden ducks in the 15th edition itself, the most by the star batter in a season of IPL. The cricketer has now six golden ducks in the history of IPL.

In the match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), DC opener David Warner was dismissed for a golden duck.
The batter has been instrumental so far, but this particular clash was important to make it to the top 4.

3. KL Rahul

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper is in the race for the Orange Cap, but he too registered a diamond duck after two golden ducks. A diamond duck is when a batter is dismissed without facing any legal balls.
Surely, the side has luckily not suffered much and still could make it to the Playoffs, but the result of ducks will be attached to his name.

Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ravindra Jadeja, since being handed the captaincy, could not handle the pressure and saw his team's and his own form dip.
