The streak began on February 9 this year when Turner fell for golden duck while playing for Perth Scorchers against Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League.

The right-handed batsman Turner then failed to open his account in the T20 international against India in Vizag, an innings that lasted five balls.

When it comes to IPL, Turner got out on the first delivery for the third successive time. Before Monday's match, Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians were responsible for Turner's first-ball duck.

Turner also became the sixth batsman in the IPL to record three straight ducks. Ashok Dinda, Rahul Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, Pawan Negi and Shardul Thakur are the other batsmen to have registered three ducks in consecutive matches.
