Following a disappointing series in New Zealand, Virat Kohli has moved up to second on the list of Indian players with the most ducks, just one spot behind Zaheer Khan.
The Indian team's tour of New Zealand ended in a series of low scores, with Virat Kohli failing to convert his starts into meaningful contributions.
Kohli's struggles culminated in a series of ducks that pushed his tally of zeroes higher, placing him just behind former paceman Zaheer Khan on the all‑time list of Indian players with the most ducks.
The list, which tracks the number of times a batsman has been dismissed for zero, now shows Kohli in second place, one step away from overtaking Khan.
The move highlights the challenges Kohli faces in adapting to sub‑continental conditions and underscores the need for a fresh approach to his batting in international cricket.
