Maxwell made a golden duck

Glenn Maxwell 's third debut with Punjab Kings (PBKS) proved to be forgettable as he was dismissed for a golden duck in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) fixture between PBKS and Gujarat Titans on Tuesday (March 25) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The star all-rounder walked out to bat in the 11th over after PBKS made a strong start but was dismissed on the first ball by Sai Kishore. The 36-year-old was trapped in front of the stumps trying to play a reverse sweep. After the umpire raised his finger, Maxwell had a long discussion with Shreyas Iyer but decided not to take a review.

The TV replays left PBKS and Maxwell stunned as it showed that the ball was missing stumps, and had Maxwell gone upstairs, he could have continued his innings.

Glenn Maxwell's Hit Embarrassing Low

Maxwell's dismissal was the 19th instance of him being dismissed for a duck in an IPL, making him the first player to achieve the dubious feat. Previously, the Australian star shared the record for the most ducks in IPL history alongside Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma

The star all-rounder won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in the 2014 season when PBKS reached their only final in 2014. That also remains the last instance of the Punjab-based franchise reaching the playoffs.
