Virat Kohli got out for a golden duck against LSG | BCCI/IPLFormer India and RCB skipper Virat Kohli is enduring a tough phase with the bat for some time now. His poor run of form continued in RCB’s latest IPL clash against LSG at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai on Tuesday (April 19).

Kohli got out for a first-ball duck as he pushed a back-of-length delivery from Dushmantha Chameera for a simple catch to the fielder at point.

With this golden duck, Kohli also set an unwanted record, going 100 innings in professional cricket without a century.

Virat Kohli has now gone 17 Tests, 21 ODIs, 25 T20Is, and 37 IPL games without reaching the three-figure mark. His last hundred in competitive cricket came against Bangladesh in a Test match in November 2019.

In the IPL 2022 edition so far, Kohli has played seven innings and managed to amass only 119 runs at an average of 19.83 with the highest score of 48.

Notably, Virat has already given up RCB’s captaincy and playing the ongoing season as a specialist batter. The right-hander has also relinquished India’s Test and T20I captaincy while he was sacked as ODI captain.
