Kolkata Knight Riders in-form all-rounder Sunil Narine registered an unwanted record after being bamboozled by Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah's swinging yorker during IPL 2024 match 60 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday (May 11).

Narine broke the record for most ducks in men's T20 cricket after a scorching yorker from Bumrah in the very first delivery of the second over the innings saw the West Indies all-rounder depart for a golden duck.

Bumrah bowled a delivery with a hint of late in-swing with the ball hitting the off stump of the left-hander as Narine, who was in rich form with the bat heading into the match, stood clueless at the crease before making the slow march back into the dug out.

This dismissal marked Narine's 44th duck in men's T20 cricket, surpassing English batter, Alex Hales' tally of 43 ducks in the shortest format of cricket. Afghainstan's star spinner Rashid Khan is in the third spot with 42 ducks in the T20 format. Here is a look at the top 10:
