In cricket, 0 is called a “duck” because the number 0 looks like a duck’s egg 🥚. So when a batsman gets out without scoring any runs, it’s called a duck.
Rahul kumar
A "duck" in cricket refers to a batsman scoring zero runs because the number 0 resembles a duck's egg. The term is a shortened form of "duck's egg," which was used to describe a zero score in the 1800s, often written as "laid a duck" or "out for a duck" to indicate a score of zero.
