Glenn Maxwell who made his comeback for the Punjab Kings in the match against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, registered an unwanted record. Coming to bat for his team after Azmatullah Omarzai’s wicket when PBKS was at 105/3, Maxwell got out on the first delivery bowled to him by Sai Kishore. With this golden duck, the star all-rounder registered his 19th duck in IPL history and surpassed both Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma, who each had 18 ducks, to top the list of players to get out without scoring any runs.
