Bengaluru: India’s superbatter Virat Kohli, who is looking for a new record in Twenty20 cricket, scored a golden duck in the third match against Afghanistan. This is the first time in Twenty20 cricket that the player has been dismissed on the very first ball he faced.
Ibrahim Sadran was caught in the fourth ball of the third over bowled by Farid Ahmad and got out. Had he scored six more runs, Kohli would have become the first Indian player to complete 12,000 runs in the Twenty20 format (T20 Internationals + List A matches).
Currently, the star has 11,994 runs from 376 matches. He is the fourth highest run-getter in the Twenty20 format. Former West Indies batsman Chris Gaye is the first. 14,562 runs from 463 Twenty20 matches. Shuaib Malik (12,993 runs from 525 matches) and Kieron Pollard (12,430 runs from 639 matches) are second and third respectively.
In the IPL, the fans were disappointed that the favorite star was dismissed as a golden duck at the home ground of his own team, Bangalore Royal Challengers. However, another embarrassing record came to the star in the competition. It is the 35th time in international cricket in the career of the player that he has become a duck. Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has been dismissed 34 times in international cricket.
Former pacer Zaheer Khan is the Indian player who has got out the most number of wickets in all three formats of cricket. 44 times. Sri Lanka’s former spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan (59 times) in international cricket.
