How many ducks has Sachin Tendulkar scored in Test?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is rather surprising; Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka has been sent packing to the pavilion a record 34 times in ODI's without a run to his name, which is ironic considering he is one of the best limited overs batsmen of his geneation. He is followed by Wasim Akram on 28, who leads a group of four on 25 ODI ducks (Muttiah Muralitheran, Shahid Afridi, Mahela Jayawardene and Chaminda Vaas).
