India captain Virat Kohli experienced a rare failure with the bat after he was dismissed for a second-ball duck against Australia in Guwahati yesterday. It was the first instance of Kohli getting out for a duck in T20Is.
He was outdone by the left-arm pacer’s inswinger which took an inside edge off his bat, hit his pads and went up in the air. The Australian was quick to anticipate that and caught hold of the ball on his follow through taking the prized wicket of Indian skipper.
Kohli took more than 7 years to record his first duck, as he made his T20I debut in 2007. In that period, he has extracted 47 innings before getting out for zero in a T20I match, most by any player. Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik follows him with 40 innings to his name while Yuvraj Singh is third in the list with 39.
