IND vs ENG: T20 cricket has become a fan favourite worldwide due to its quick pace, high energy, and exciting entertainment. Games take about three hours combining the thrill of rapid scoring, lively fielding, and tactical play. This creates a perfect mix of action and drama.

Batters in T20 cricket aim to score by playing bold shots and taking smart risks. They need to adjust to changing situations, find gaps in the field, and come up with new shots like reverse sweeps and ramps. This makes the game fun to watch and hard to predict.

IND vs ENG: Here’s a list of Indian captains with the most ducks in T20Is:

1: Rohit Sharma (6 ducks)

Rohit Sharma, the Indian Test and ODI captain is an aggressive opener with a remarkable T20I career. Renowned for his elegant stroke play and powerful shots last portrayed during the IND vs ENG encounter in the T20 World Cup semi-final, he takes on the challenge of attacking from the very first ball. This high-risk strategy can sometimes result in early dismissals, which is reflected in his record of 6 ducks as a T20I captain. Despite this, Rohit’s contributions have been crucial in shaping India’s T20 strategy.

2: Virat Kohli (3 ducks)

Kohli’s 3 ducks during his captaincy are rare instances where the opposition managed to outplay him. Nevertheless, his leadership and batting skills have significantly impacted Indian cricket.

3: Shikhar Dhawan and Suryakumar Yadav (1 duck)

Shikhar Dhawan, affectionately known as Gabbar, is recognized for his aggressive batting at the top of the order in limited-overs cricket. He captained the Indian Cricket Team in 3 T20I matches, during which he recorded 1 duck. His natural flair and experience make him a dependable option, even if occasional failures like a duck are part of the game. The current Indian T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, famous for his 360-degree batting style, has also recorded just 1 duck as a captain in T20Is, which occurred in the first T20I against England at Eden Gardens. His fearless batting and leadership potential make him a valuable asset.
