2. Don Bradman’s last innings duck

Donald Bradman is widely regarded as the greatest batter to have played cricket. His never-ending appetite for runs was unreal and to this date, nobody has matched his consistency. Everyone thought that he would end his international career with a bang but unfortunately, it wasn’t the case.

Bradman walked in the middle for the last time during the last Test of the 1948 Ashes series on August 14, 1948. He was out for a second ball-duck.

What makes the entire turn of events even more disheartening is the fact that Bradman needed just four runs to reach an astonishing career average of 100 in Test cricket. However, with that duck, the Aussie finished his career with 6996 runs from 52 Test matches at a stunning average of 99.94.
