The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has made a plethora of records in his career so far and a lot of them have been unwanted ones as well. One such unwanted record was made with an 8-ball duck on Day 2 of the 4th Test against England on Ahmedabad. Virat Kohli has just walked in after the dismissal of Cheteshwar Pujara when Stokes churned out an excellent short delivery which took Kohli by surprise. The 32-year-old, tempted to play the delivery, edged the ball into the hands of wicket-keeper Ben Foakes.

With that duck, 8th in Kohli’s career as the captain of the Indian team, he has equaled the unwanted record of his predecessor MS Dhoni. The two owners of the unlucky record for the most number of ducks by an India skipper.

His last pair in a series was also against England when Liam Plunkett and James Anderson sent him packing on zeros in 2014. Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes have done the damage this time.

Big wicket for England!
