In the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026, Virat Kohli, the prominent batter for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), is facing a challenging phase, having scored a golden duck against Mumbai Indians (MI) and a two-ball zero against Lucknow Super Giants. This is the second time Kohli has recorded back-to-back ducks in IPL history, the last occurrence being in 2022. Former England cricketers Phil Tufnell, David Lloyd, Michael Vaughan, and Alastair Cook humorously mocked Kohli's performance on their podcast, 'Stick to Cricket.' Tufnell quipped about learning from Kohli's batting, while Lloyd added a light-hearted comment about Kohli's early dismissal. Despite his struggles, Kohli showcased his sense of humor during a post-match team talk after RCB's thrilling last-ball victory over MI, where he made a joke about his poor form. Krunal Pandya's impressive 73 runs were pivotal in RCB's win, as they chased down MI's total of 166 runs, securing victory in a nail-biting finish.
