10 Cricketers Who Registered Duck In Their 100th Test Match: Cheteshwar Pujara, Brendon McCullum, Kraigg Brathwaite & More
photoDetails english 2926972 Updated:Jul 05, 2025, 12:05 PM IST Dilip Vengsarkar (India) vs New Zealand - 1988 1 / 10 Vengsarkar, known for his elegant strokeplay, had a rare failure in his 100th Test at Wankhede, falling for a duck. It was a disappointing moment in what was otherwise a celebrated milestone for one of India's batting greats. Allan Border (Australia) vs West Indies - 1991 2 / 10 Border, Australia's longest-serving captain, faced a tough West Indies attack in his 100th match. His dismissal for zero came as a shock, especially given his consistency and fighting spirit throughout the 1980s. Courtney Walsh (West Indies) vs England - 1995 3 / 10 A bowling legend rather than a batting one, Walsh's duck in his 100th Test didn't come as a surprise. His primary contribution was with the ball, and he went on to finish with 519 Test wickets. Mark Taylor (Australia) vs England - 1998 4 / 10 The Australian skipper was dismissed without scoring in his 100th Test during the Ashes series. It was a rare failure for Taylor in a match where the team's focus was on retaining dominance over their arch-rivals. Stephen Fleming (New Zealand) vs South Africa - 2006 5 / 10 Fleming, one of New Zealand's most respected captains, had an anticlimactic 100th Test. He fell for a duck in Cape Town, unable to mark his century game with a notable performance. Brendon McCullum (New Zealand) vs Australia - 2016 6 / 10 Known for his aggressive style, McCullum was bowled by Mitchell Starc for a duck in his 100th and final Test. While the golden duck was forgettable, he redeemed himself by smashing a 145-run whirlwind in the second innings. Alastair Cook (England) vs India - 2019 7 / 10 In his 100th Test, Cook, England's most prolific Test run-scorer, was dismissed for a duck, unable to make an impact against a disciplined Indian attack. Ironically, he had scored a ton in his debut Test, but this was the other extreme. Cheteshwar Pujara (India) vs Australia - 2023 8 / 10 Known for his defensive resilience, Pujara was bowled early by Pat Cummins in his 100th Test, a symbolic reminder of how even dependable players can falter on big days. Ravichandran Ashwin (India) vs England - 2024 9 / 10 India's premier all-rounder, Ashwin, was cleaned up for zero on Day 1 of his milestone Test at Chennai. Despite his duck, he later contributed with a five-wicket haul, reaffirming his value. Kraigg Brathwaite (West Indies) vs Australia – 2025 10 / 10 The latest addition, Brathwaite, was caught and bowled by Josh Hazlewood for a duck at St George's, Grenada. It was a rough start to his 100th game, though West Indies eventually staged a strong comeback.

‘When you know that your coach is backing you…': Indian pacer Akash Deep on coach Gautam Gambhir's backing
With the Shubman Gill-led Indian team taking a 180-run first innings lead against England in the second Test at Edgbaston, Mohammed Siraj's six-wicket spell coupled with Akash Deep's four-wicket haul was the highlight of the day for the Indian team. With India leading by 244 runs with nine wickets in hand in their second innings, India will once again look towards Siraj and Akash Deep to make dents in England's batting once the target is set. Pacer Akash Deep, who picked up four wickets in England's first innings, talked about how coach Gautam Gambhir motivated him to give his best. 'He (Gautam Gambhir) kept sharing his experience with me. What a player needs from a coach in terms of confidence, he has given me. And his confidence in me only has reflected in this match. When you know that your coach is backing you, then you get the confidence and it gets reflected in the match. He was telling me I don't even know what skills I have. So that's motivating when the coach says that. He along with Morne Morkel kept reminding me of my strengths,' Akash Deep told reporters after the end of third day's play. The Indian pacer was picked in place of Jasprit Bumrah for the second Test with the Indian team management deciding to rest Bumrah. He picked up the wickets of Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope off consecutive deliveries on the second day before he accounted for the fall of a well set Harry Brook and breaking the 303-run partnership between Brook and Jamie Smith. The right-arm pacer would also talk about the kind of flat wickets the Indian team is encountering during the tour and the challenge. 'The kind of wickets and the kind of batting England has, it poses a challenge. As a bowler, you have things like disciplined bowling, bowling in your areas and bowling according to your plan in your hands on such kinds of pitches. So I believe when you keep things simple and go into the match with your plan and try to execute your plans, it's not difficult. Whether conditions are easy or difficult and whatever the batting is, it becomes easier for us. Result will come in favour one day and it will not come in favour the other day but sticking to this makes things easier for you,' he said. England recovered after being 84 for 5 with Brook and Smith stitching together a 303-run partnership for the sixth wicket but Siraj and Akash Deep made sure that England lost quick wickets with the second new ball. Akash Deep also talked about his conversation with Siraj. 'We kept talking about what's working and what's not working. One thing which we kept talking about was that we have to maintain pressure as a pair. We will bowl in our areas and will not concede runs. Whether we get the wicket or not. With the first new ball, I was attacking and Siraj was stopping the runs. So it gave me the freedom to bowl freely. That was important,' said the Indian pacer.
