Virat Kohli’s comeback to international cricket didn’t go as expected as he was dismissed for a duck in the 1st ODI against Australia.
After Rohit Sharma’s early exit, Kohli was expected to steady India’s innings but couldn’t get going against the Aussie pace attack.
Mitchell Starc bowled a teasing delivery outside off stump, and Kohli went for a drive — only to be caught brilliantly by Cooper Connolly at point.
This was Kohli’s 17th ODI duck, moving him past Rohit Sharma among Indian batters with the most ducks in ODIs.
Sachin Tendulkar leads with 20, followed by Javagal Srinath, Yuvraj Singh, and Anil Kumble. Kohli now sits just behind them in the list.
Despite the early failure, fans expect Kohli to bounce back in the next two games as India aims to win the series against Australia.
