King Kohli Struggles: Out for Zero in Consecutive ODIs Against Australia

India cricket star Virat Kohli lasted just 4 balls in the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI, getting out for another duck in the series. He had already scored zero off 8 balls in the first ODI in Perth, putting extra pressure on him to perform in Adelaide, a ground where he usually does well. This time, Australia dismissed him even faster.

Xavier Bartlett dismissed Kohli on the second-last ball of the 7th over, trapping him LBW. Ball-tracking later showed the ball would have hit the middle stump. Kohli briefly discussed with Rohit Sharma whether to take a review but chose not to and walked off the field.

In the 1st ODI, Kohli recorded his first-ever duck against Australia. Just 8 balls in, an outside-off-stump delivery trapped him as Australia targeted his weakness in that area. Many had expected King Kohli to bounce back in Adelaide, but it didn’t happen. Kohli has historically dominated at Adelaide Oval scoring 975 runs at an impressive average of 65.00 including 5 hundreds and 4 fifties across formats making him the highest-scoring non-Australian at the venue.
