Virat Kohli is the leading run-getter in IPL’s history with over 9000 runs to his name.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are locking horns with Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Sunday, May 10. RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and opted to field in the clash.
RCB did a wonderful job with the ball, restricting the Mumbai Indians to just 166/7 in the first innings. Tilak Varma scored a half-century for the side while Naman Dhir added 47 runs. The rest of the batters failed to come up with a good show.
In the chase, RCB suffered a big blow at the start, losing their star batter Virat Kohli for a golden duck. He was dismissed by Deepak Chahar in the first over.
Notably, Kohli also grabbed a duck in the previous game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on May 7. Hence, it is a rare instance when Kohli has bagged consecutive ducks in the IPL.
