Kohli matches Tendulkar's unwanted record with 20th ODI duck: Details
What's the story
Virat Kohli had a disappointing outing in the fourth ODI against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui. Having been dismissed without scoring, he equaled Sachin Tendulkar's unwanted record of the most ducks by an Indian in ODI history (20 each). The Indian batting star was dismissed for a four-ball duck by Matt Henry in India's massive 244-run defeat. Here are further details.
Record details
Kohli and Tendulkar lead the list
Kohli has reached this dubious milestone in 321 ODIs, while Tendulkar took 463 matches to get there, as per Cricinfo.
Javagal Srinath follows with 19 ducks in 229 matches, while Anil Kumble, Yuvraj Singh, and Rohit Sharma are tied with 18 each.
Interestingly, Rohit also fell for a golden duck during India's defeat at the Bay Oval.
This was only the second time Rohit and Kohli both scored ducks in the same ODI, the first being against Sri Lanka in 2010.
Meanwhile, Henry took three wickets in the opening over of the NZ innings, with Shreyas Iyer falling on the last ball.
Dismissal analysis
How Henry dismissed Kohli
Kohli walked out to bat after Rohit was dismissed for a golden duck.
Henry had a clear plan for the Indian batting great.
He first tested Kohli with an outswinger, then brought one back into him.
Expecting another outswinger, Kohli was caught off guard by a length ball that jagged back into him and knocked his stumps over.
Henry went on to dismiss six batters as India were bowled out for just 89 while chasing a daunting target of 334.
