Virat Kohli duck vs Lucknow Super Giants: A shocking incident happened with Virat Kohli in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League 2026. The star batsman of Royal Challengers Bangalore was out without scoring any runs in just two balls. Lucknow Super Giants' young fast bowler Prince Yadav surprised the cricket world by clean bowling him. While chasing the target of 213 runs, the team expected a big innings from Virat Kohli, but he could not do anything special in this match.

RCB had a bad start while chasing the target. Mohammed Shami dismissed Jacob Bethel cheaply in the first over, soon after which Prince Yadav sent Virat Kohli to the pavilion with his second ball. Prince first bowled an outswinger, then bowled Kohli with a fast inswing ball with a speed of 140.4 kilometers per hour. With this, for the first time after the 2023 season, Kohli was out on a duck in the IPL. During this period, he played 46 consecutive innings without getting out on zero.
