NEW DELHI: As India suffered an early Virat Kohli blow against Australia in their final T20 World Cup Super 8 game in St Lucia, the social media was left in utter shock and disbelief.
It was the second duck for Kohli in the showpiece this year as the India opener was dismissed in the second over.
Trying to Josh Hazlewood short delivery as Kohli mistimed his pull, he was caught at wide mid-on by Tim David for a five-ball duck.It was Kohli’s 4 single-digit score in the tournament.
After a highly successful IPL, Kohli has gone through a torrid run at the T20 World Cup in the Americas, registering scores of — 1, 4, 0, 24, 37 and 0.
As Kohli registered a shock second duck this World Cup, edition fans were quick to react on social media.

Kohli now has three ducks in eight innings in T20Is in 2024. In 107 innings in the format before 2024, Kohli had been dismissed without scoring only four times.
Earlier, Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to field against India in the teams’ concluding Super Eights match.
India were unchanged from the team that thrashed Bangladesh by 50 runs.
Victory for India, beaten on home soil by Australia in the final of last year’s 50-over World Cup, would put them into the semi-finals.
A win for Marsh’s team will likely see them into the last four but they will not necessarily be eliminated if they lose, with Afghanistan in action against Bangladesh later.
Unbeaten South Africa and reigning champions England have already reached the semi-finals from Group Two.
