Virat Kohli’s tough ODI comeback continued in Adelaide, as he was dismissed for a second consecutive duck in the ongoing IND vs AUS series. Walking in after Shubman Gill’s early dismissal, Kohli faced just four balls before being trapped lbw by Australian pacer Xavier Bartlett in the seventh over.

Virat Kohli Falls to Consecutive Ducks
The Indian star chose not to review the umpire’s decision. This dismissal marked a rare low point in his career. For the first time in his 304-match ODI journey, he was dismissed for ducks in back-to-back games—a surprising moment for one of cricket’s modern greats.
The dismissal also marked Kohli’s 40th duck in international cricket and his second in Australia in ODIs. India, sent in to bat by Mitchell Marsh, struggled early as openers Rohit Sharma and Gill failed to find momentum against the new ball. Kohli has scored 975 runs at the Adelaide Oval—the most by any visiting batter. However, he found no respite this time, leaving India in early trouble once again.
