Virat Kohli’s Struggles Continue as he Records Second Duck at T20 World Cup

Indian cricket star Virat Kohli faced another setback in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, as he recorded his second duck at the prestigious tournament in the Super 8 clash against Australia.

Having previously played a stellar knock against Australia in the ICC World Cup 2023 final, Kohli’s recent struggle with pace ace Josh Hazlewood saw him departing early at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium.

This unfortunate incident echoes an unwanted feat equalled by former India pacer Ashish Nehra at the T20 World Cup, with Kohli now having bagged two ducks in a single edition of the tournament.

The two-time leading run-getter of the Indian cricket team faced a similar predicament during the Super 8 tie, marking his second duck of the 2024 edition alongside his earlier dismissal against the United States of America (USA).

Kohli, known for his consistent performances, has been struggling in the T20 World Cup, with only 66 runs in six innings and an average of 11.00. His highest score of 37 came against Bangladesh, but the batting icon has failed to register double-digit scores in the, group stage.

This ongoing struggle in the tournament co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies has left fans and critics alike wondering about the future trajectory of Kohli’s performance in the shortest format of the game.
