Former Indian captain Virat Kohli continued to struggle in this IPL and was dismissed for a golden duck in the game between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Lucknow Super Giants. The 33-year-old has been going through a tough phase in his international career and has not been able to produce the kind of performances that cricket fans are used to seeing from him. With just 119 runs in seven games, Kohli has found different ways to get dismissed including run-outs which has been a rare sight for him.

Coming back to the dismissal, Dushmantha Chameera had taken the wicket of Anuj Rawat off the previous delivery and Kohli had to come to the crease on just the sixth ball of the innings with just seven runs on the board. Chameera bowled a relatively short delivery in the off stump region that was too close to cut. However, Kohli who likes to feel bat on ball early tentatively poked and it went straight into the hands of the point fielder Deepak Hooda.

Kohli’s long rope of inconsistency

Virat Kohli’s long rope of inconsistency had started in 2019 and since then he has not scored an international century for the last two and a half years despite scoring half-centuries at times. He has been desperate at times to get off the mark and his average has dropped considerably in the longer format. He stepped down from captaincy responsibilities for India, as well as for his franchise RCB, hoping to find his form back, but it still hasn’t seemed to work in his favour.

Kohli has been considered to be one of the best batters in the modern-day generation and the weight of expectations of the whole country seem to make him desperate at times. Kohli has two scores above 40 in this edition but hasn’t converted into a half-century yet and he is too good a player to be kept quiet for a long time. The fans, meanwhile, after the golden duck, were disappointed and expressed their emotions on Twitter.
