Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was dismissed for a golden duck in the fifth match of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) against Gujarat Titans (GT). The game is taking place on Tuesday, March 25, at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
With this dismissal, Glenn Maxwell set an unwanted record for the most ducks in IPL history, reaching a total of 19. The 36-year-old walked in at No. 5 after Azmatullah Omarzai’s dismissal on the third ball of the 11th over, bowled by Sai Kishore.
Facing the fourth delivery, Maxwell attempted a reverse sweep against the left-arm spinner’s flatter ball but missed, getting struck on the body. Gujarat Titans players immediately appealed, and the umpire wasted no time in giving him out, marking an unfortunate golden duck for the explosive batter.
