US EditionAUS vs IND: Virat Kohli Falls for Duck in First ODI Against Australia as India Star’s Much-Anticipated Return Ends in Damp Squib
Kohli was dismissed for a duck off Mitchell Starc's bowling in his ODI return, marking his 17th duck in the format as India posted a joint-lowest powerplay total since 2023.
- On Sunday, Virat Kohli fell for an eight-ball duck at Optus Stadium in Perth after edging a Mitchell Starc delivery caught by Cooper Connolly.
- After a probing over from Mitchell Starc, Kohli edged a drive outside off in the seventh over after missing three of the seven deliveries he faced and taking a leg-bye off Josh Hazlewood, Australia fast bowler.
- Kohli's duck equalled Harbhajan Singh's 17 ODI ducks and ended a 13-year streak without a duck in Australia.
- India's innings suffered after the early losses of top-order batters, as the top three batters—Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill—fell cheaply and scored just 27 in the first 10 overs.
- Both Kohli and Rohit Sharma returned after last playing in the ICC Champions Trophy final in March this year, while Ajit Agarkar, chairman of selectors, stayed non-committal about their future.
