Australia v India, Second ODI: Kohli Makes Another Duck as Australia Strike Early

Kohli aims to set a new ODI record despite recent consecutive ducks, a first in 292 innings, highlighting his challenge to rebound in the ongoing series.

  • At the second ODI in Adelaide, Virat Kohli, India batter, fell for a second straight duck early in the innings as Mitch Marsh, Australia captain, won the toss and sent India in.
  • After failing to score in Perth, Virat Kohli, the 36-year-old India batter, recorded back-to-back ducks for the first time and is averaging 34.37 in ODIs this year.
  • Xavier Bartlett trapped Kohli plumb in front after three balls, completing a double-wicket maiden as Bartlett and commentators praised his luck and skill.
  • The wicket left India 2-29 off 10 overs, putting the visitors on the back foot early and intensifying questions about Virat Kohli's place for the 2027 World Cup.
  • With Pat Cummins sidelined by a back injury, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc lead Australia's attack while Alex Carey, Xavier Bartlett, and Adam Zampa return to the XI.
