Over the past two decades, the ODIs have seen great transformation in terms of scoring rate. The batsmen have found new ways of scoring, mercilessly killing bowlers’ confidence. Despite scoring rapidly, there are few players who hold the unfortunate record of scoring more ducks then centuries in their respective ODI career. Calling them ordinary players will be a mistake as their track record speak for themselves. Here is the list of great players who have scored more ODI ducks than 100s.

He is credited for having revolutionized ODI cricket with his explosive batting with Romesh Kaluwitharana in 1996, which initiated the hard-hitting modern day batting strategy of all nations. Jayasuriya was an all-rounder, who had an international cricket career that spread over two decades.
