Adam Gilchrist , during second test in Kolkata in 2001
In March, 2001, Epic
battle took place between India and Australia in Test in Eden Gardens. The
famous memories when VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid batted the full day and
stitched an epic partnership that laid the foundation for one of India’s
greatest Test wins in the Kolkata Test against Australia. One more moment that
took there which Gilchrist doesn't want to Remember . He got out on very first
ball in both the innings , second inning dismissal was really crucial as
Kangaroos were cruising towards the target.
2. Elgar's Debut Duck Pair

Elgar
made his test debut against Australia on 30 November 2012 and scored a
duck in his maiden test innings. He followed this with another duck in the
second innings to complete a pair of ducks on debut. Though South Africa won
the match comfortably by 309 runs.

Alastair Cook, during 2 inning of 3rd test in 2013-14 Ashes .
England Former Test skipper Alastair Cook is an unlikely name on this list. Cook played his
100th Test in the 2013 Ashes series down under. Despite scoring a decent 72 in
the first innings, he was cleaned up by Ryan Harris in the second innings. The
duck in the saw the Brits lose the second Test. The Ashes 2013 is famous for
Mitchell Johnson as he tore the English apart, thus securing a 5-0 win and the
Ashes.
4. Dhoni's Debut Duck
MS Dhoni, during 1st ODI vs Bangladesh at Chittagong in 2004
This is a
famous duck for sure . MS Dhoni , the man known for his fortunes who turned
India Cricket's fortunes also , got out on a first ball of his international
career. He made only 19 runs on the tour in 3 matches. He kept on
marching back at a brisk pace after getting out everytime with the same
expression and he still does the same, he walks out the same way no matter he
scores a big ton or gets out on zero. As always said great players never let
themselves down.
5. Don Bradman's Final Inning Duck

average of 99.94. He'd needed just four runs for an average of 100. This
dismissal left everyone stunned for decades.
