5 Indian Cricketers who scored a duck in their first ODI but became legends
Morning shows the day is an idiom which isn't always applicable in sports. CricTracker looks at five Indian cricketers who scored a duck in their first ODI but went on to become legends.
Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan is one of the finest opening batters to have represented India in ODI cricket. However, he did not have the best of starts, being cleaned up by Clint McKay for a two-ball duck on his international debut in Visakhapatnam against Australia in an ODI clash on October 20, 2010.
Dhawan went on to lead India in the white-ball formats. He played 34 Tests, 167 ODIs, and 68 T20Is, scoring 2315, 6793, and 1759 runs, respectively. The Delhi batter also scored a majestic 187 off 174 balls on his Test debut. He finished with an average of 40.61 in Tests, 44.11 in ODIs, and 27.92 in T20Is.
