Virat Kohli, the star batsman for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), faced a disappointing moment as he recorded his eighth golden duck in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during a match against the Mumbai Indians. This marks the second time in less than a year that Kohli has sat on a hat-trick of ducks, having previously failed to score in two consecutive matches against Australia in October 2025. His recent struggles have caused him to slip out of the top 10 contenders for the Orange Cap, awarded to the tournament's leading run-scorer. Former England cricketers Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan, and Phil Tufnell humorously commented on Kohli's dismissal during their podcast, Stick to Cricket, highlighting the irony of learning from batting alongside him only to get out on the first ball. Despite these setbacks, Kohli has shown resilience in the past, rebounding from previous ducks with impressive scores, including three centuries and three fifties in his last seven One Day Internationals (ODIs) for India. With the World Cup in South Africa approaching and several ODIs scheduled, Kohli is determined to lead RCB to the playoffs and replicate last year’s title triumph.
