Rohit Sharma Equals IPL Record for Most Ducks as Rajasthan Royals Defeat Mumbai Indians

In IPL 2026, Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a four-ball duck by Jofra Archer in Mumbai Indians' final group-stage match against Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium. This dismissal equaled Sharma's record with Glenn Maxwell for the most ducks in IPL history, both holding 19. Archer contributed significantly with both bat and ball, helping Rajasthan Royals post 205 runs and maintain their playoff hopes. Mumbai Indians, already eliminated, ended their campaign with this loss.
