Indian opener Ruturaj Gaikwad fell victim to ‘Diamond Duck’ in the first T20 match against Australia. When a batsman is out without playing a ball, it is called “Diamond Duck”. Yashasvi Jaiswal played the shot after which Rituraj Gaikwad ran to take the second run but Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to his crease. As a result, Ruturaj Gaikwad had to be eliminated. In this way, Rituraj Gaikwad returned to the pavilion with zero without playing a ball.
However, Ruturaj Gaikwad became the third Indian player to miss out on a diamond duck in T20. Previously, Jasprit Bumrah was a victim of Diamond Duck. Jasprit Bumrah had a diamond duck against Sri Lanka in Pune in 2016. After this, Amit Mishra became the second Indian batsman to return to the pavilion for Diamond Duck in the T20 format. In 2017, Amit Mishra had a diamond duck against England in Nagpur. At the same time, Rituraj Gaikwad was doing Diamond Duck. So far, three Indian batsmen have fallen victim to diamond duck in the T20 format.
