Ranatunga's dubious distinction Atul Kahate - 29 March 1999 Arjuna Ranatunga's 'duck' against Pakistan has now moved him to the second (joint) position in the dubious list of most zeroes in a LOI career. This was the 18th time that Ranatunga was dismissed without bothering the scorers, a new Sri Lankan record which he was jointly holding with Romesh Kaluwitharana. This season (1998-99) is certainly not the Sri Lankan skipper's best. This was his fifth duck for the season in 19 innings. The following table lists batsmen with most ducks to their name in LOI matches.
