On Thursday, October 23, former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin shared a cryptic post on X.com, which fans linked to Virat Kohli as it came after his consecutive flop shows Down Under.
In the series-opening clash at Perth Stadium, Kohli got out for 0 while trying to play a drive outside off-stump off Mitchell Starc's delivery, and he ended up edging it to Cooper Connolly, who managed to take a brilliant catch.
On the 5th ball of the 7th over, Xavier Bartlett bowled a length delivery around off-stump that skidded through and hit Kohli on the pads as he was trying to play a flick shot.
With a duck in the 2nd ODI, Kohli hit a historic low in his career. It was the very first time in his 304-match ODI career that Kohli got out for ducks in two consecutive matches. Before this, he was previously dismissed for two ducks on the trot in a Test and T20I in Ahmedabad in 2021.
Also, the Adelaide ODI duck put Kohli in the same position as Ishant Sharma for the second-most ducks by an Indian, with the duo only behind Zaheer Khan, who bagged 43 ducks.
