Virat Kohli’s return to international cricket has been far from ideal, as the star batter recorded back-to-back ducks in Australia, marking one of the leanest phases of his career. With his latest dismissal, Kohli has now registered 40 ducks across formats — the joint second-highest for any Indian cricketer, equalling his former Delhi teammate Ishant Sharma.

In the first ODI at Perth, India’s batting lineup struggled to find rhythm, with Rohit Sharma scoring just 8 and Kohli departing for a duck. Hopes were high for a strong comeback in Adelaide, a venue where Kohli has historically thrived, but his dismissal to Xavier Bartlett deepened concerns about his form.

Since making his debut in 2008, Kohli has played over 550 matches across all formats, dominating world cricket with unmatched consistency and intensity. However, this recent string of low scores has come as a surprise for fans accustomed to seeing him anchor India’s innings.

Despite these setbacks, cricket experts believe it’s only a matter of time before Kohli regains his trademark rhythm. His work ethic, mental strength, and ability to bounce back have defined his illustrious career. For now, though, the record of 40 ducks stands as an unwanted milestone in an otherwise extraordinary journey — a reminder that even legends face rough patches before rising again.
