Virat Kohli was dismissed for a second consecutive duck, hinting at retirement on his return! Video wreaked havoc

Virat Kohli Duck: Indian star batsman Virat Kohli suffered two consecutive ducks for the first time in his international career. He was dismissed without scoring in the second ODI against Australia in Adelaide. This is the first time since his debut in 2008 that Kohli has been dismissed for ducks in two consecutive ODIs. His reaction to the crowd after his dismissal has sparked speculation about his possible retirement from ODI cricket, especially despite his impressive record in Adelaide.

Virat Kohli Duck: For the first time in his international cricket career, Indian team's star batsman Virat Kohli became a victim of two consecutive ducks. Kohli returned to the pavilion without opening his account against Australia in the second ODI being played in Adelaide. Kohli scored the highest number of runs (975 as a foreign batsman in all three formats) on this Adelaide ground, but after facing 4 balls, he was out on a duck again. After this, he reacted after seeing the spectators who had come to watch the match at the Adelaide ground, due to which discussions about his retirement have started increasing rapidly.

Virat Kohli achieved this unwanted record for the first time in 17 years

Indian cricket team's star batsman Virat Kohli's poor form continues. He was dismissed without scoring in the second ODI against Australia in Adelaide. This is his second consecutive duck. Kohli also failed to score in the first ODI played in Perth.

This statistic is even more surprising because it marks the first time since his international debut in 2008 that Virat Kohli has recorded two consecutive ducks in ODIs. Kohli came out to bat in the seventh over of India's innings. He played the first three deliveries from Australian bowler Xavier Bartlett cautiously, but the fourth ball turned inward and hit him directly on the pads.

The umpire immediately raised his finger. Kohli thought for a moment, but then decided not to review. Ball tracking also showed that the ball was heading straight for middle stump.

Meanwhile, a video is rapidly going viral in which fans gave Kohli a standing ovation as he returned to the dressing room after being dismissed for a duck. Kohli waved in acknowledgement. Now, questions are being raised about his gesture: was it because this was his last international match in Adelaide? Or did it have a deeper meaning, such as retirement from ODI cricket? This question has sparked a heated debate on social media.

Kohli has an excellent record in Adelaide

Before this match, Kohli had an excellent ODI record at Adelaide. He had scored 244 runs in four innings at this ground, averaging 61.00, including two centuries. His best score was 107. Of these two centuries, one was historic. He scored a brilliant century (107 runs) against Pakistan in the 2015 World Cup, becoming the first Indian batsman to score a century against Pakistan in a World Cup.
