Thu Oct 17 05:18:28 UTC 2024: ## Kohli Equals Unwanted Record with Duck in Bengaluru Test
**Bengaluru, India** – Indian cricket star Virat Kohli added to his recent struggles by being dismissed for a duck on Day 2 of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. This dismissal marked Kohli’s 38th international duck, tying him with New Zealand’s Tim Southee for the most among active cricketers.
Kohli’s dismissal came off a short-pitched delivery from New Zealand fast bowler Will O’Rourke, which he fumbled and Glenn Phillips caught at leg gully. India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, sits third on the unwanted list with 33 ducks.
The first day’s play was washed out due to rain, and the match was further truncated by inclement weather. India, who opted to bat first after winning the toss, brought in Sarfaraz Khan to replace the injured Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav to replace Akash Deep as a third spinner.
This first Test marks the beginning of a three-match series, with the next two matches scheduled for Pune (October 24-28) and Mumbai (November 1-5).
