The Asia Cup T20 tournament is remembered for runs and match-winning innings, but meanwhile there have been some players who have made the shameful record of getting out on zero repeatedly in this tournament. In cricket language it is called "duck" and getting out on zero in a big tournament like the Asia Cup is disappointing for any player. Let's know about those players who have made this unwanted record the most number of times in the Asia Cup T20.
1. Mashrafe Mortaza (Bangladesh)
Former Bangladesh captain and fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza played the Asia Cup T20 in 2016. He played 5 matches in this tournament and had to return to the pavilion 3 times without scoring any runs. Despite being a bowler, the team had expectations from his batting, but this record of getting out on zero was added to his name.
2. Charith Aslanka (Sri Lanka)
Asia Cup 2022 proved to be quite disappointing for Sri Lanka's young all-rounder Charith Aslanka. In this tournament, he got out twice for zero in 4 innings. His batting average was also only 2.25. Many questions were raised on him due to not being able to live up to expectations.
3. Asif Ali (Pakistan)
Pakistan's middle order batsman Asif Ali is known for his big shots, but he also fell prey to ducks twice in Asia Cup 2022. Although he scored a total of 41 runs, his name has been included in this list due to getting out on zero consecutively.
4. Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka)
Kusal Mendis batted brilliantly in Asia Cup 2022 and scored 155 runs, but despite this, he also got out twice without opening the account. Mendis had scored two half-centuries in the tournament, but the record of "duck" was recorded along with his good performance.
5. Nizakat Khan (Hong Kong)
Hong Kong all-rounder Nizakat Khan played 6 matches in the Asia Cup from 2016 to 2025. During this period, he also returned to the pavilion on zero twice. This was disappointing for the Hong Kong team as they had to face the lack of big batsmen.
