Kohli's Golden Duck Shocks India in ODI
3 Oct
Summary
- India batted first and stumbled to 3/2 early in the match.
- Virat Kohli received a golden duck, dismissed on the first ball.
- This marked Kohli's fourth golden duck in ODI history.
In the third ODI against the West Indies, India faced an unexpected early batting collapse. For the first time in the series, India chose to bat first but were quickly reduced to 3 runs for 2 wickets within the initial overs.
Both Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli were dismissed early. Gill fell to Jayden Seales due to unexpected bounce, while Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck on his first delivery. This marked Kohli's fourth golden duck in his ODI career, with previous instances occurring against the West Indies and England in 2011 and against the West Indies again in 2019. The early dismissals of key batters like Kohli came as a surprise to Indian fans, who were also celebrating a recent gold medal victory at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya. The team had not previously struggled with their batting performance in the ongoing series.
