. Silver duck: when a batsman is dismissed without scoring on the second ball of their innings.

. Bronze duck: when a batsman is dismissed without scoring on the third ball of their innings.

. Diamond duck: when a batsman is dismissed without facing a ball, usually due to a run-out.

. Royal duck: when an opening batsman is dismissed for a Duck in the first ball of the first innings of a match.

. King pair: when a batsman is dismissed for a duck in both innings of a two-innings match

. Platinum duck: when a batsman is dismissed on the first ball of the match.

. Laughing duck: when a batsman is dismissed for a duck without scoring in double digits.
