Virat Kohli Records First-Ever Successive ODI Ducks as Gill Perishes Under Pressure of Slow Start in 2nd ODI at Adelaide

Kohli’s dismissal by Xavier Bartlett marked his 40th international duck and first consecutive ODI ducks, equaling Ishant Sharma’s record for India.

  • On October 23, 2025 Virat Kohli was dismissed for a second consecutive duck in the three-match ODI series at Adelaide Oval, falling for a four-ball zero after Shubman Gill's wicket.
  • After Shubman Gill's wicket, Kohli faced a Bartlett delivery that jagged back to trap him on the front pad, and he chose not to review the decision before walking to the dressing room.
  • This marked Kohli's 40th international duck and before the second ODI he had amassed 975 runs in 12 matches at Adelaide Oval, averaging 65 with a highest score of 141.
  • The series also marks Kohli's return to competitive cricket after the Champions Trophy final in March earlier this year, and Australia won the opener in Perth with Mitchell Marsh unbeaten on 46.
  • Australia's selection changes included Alex Carey for Josh Philippe, Xavier Bartlett for Nathan Ellis, and recalling Adam Zampa, with Bartlett dismissing Kohli in Adelaide.
