Virat Kohli equalled Sachin Tendulkar's unwanted record of most ducks by an Indian batter in ODIs after falling for a four-ball duck against New Zealand in the fourth ODI.
Star batter Virat Kohli endured a disappointing outing in the fourth ODI between India and New Zealand at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday (November 13), as the batting stalwart was dismissed for a four-ball duck. The 38-year-old walked out at No. 3 during India's 334-run chase after Matt Henry sent Rohit Sharma back to the pavilion for a golden duck off the very first delivery of the innings. However, Kohli failed to make an impact either, with Henry bowling him on the fifth ball of the run chase.
The dismissal marked Kohli's 20th duck in ODI cricket for India, taking him level with legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar on an unwanted national record. Tendulkar registered 20 ducks in 452 innings across 463 ODIs between 1989 and 2012. Kohli, meanwhile, has reached the same tally in just 308 innings across 321 ODI appearances.
