- Trevid Head becomes victim of silver duck
Kolkata Knight Riders will face Sunrisers Hyderabad today in the first qualifier match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024). In this match being played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first. However, Pat's decision seemed to be proved wrong and the team's opener returned to the pavilion cheaply.
What is a silver duck?
Mitchell Starc bowled Travis Hayden on the second ball of the first over. Head faced 2 balls and could not even open the account. In cricket, when a batsman faces 2 balls and does not score any runs, it is called a silver duck. Head, who played many stormy innings in IPL 2024, could not even open his account in the last match. At the same time, Mitchell Starc has dismissed players 3 times in the IPL playoffs and sent all the batsmen to the pavilion on zero. Earlier in 2015, he sent Chris Morris of Rajasthan Royals and Dwayne Bravo of Chennai Super Kings to the pavilion on zero.
