Kohli scored a duck against New Zealand [Source: AFP]
When New Zealand posted 333 on the board in the 4th ODI, expectations were that Virat Kohli would lead the Indian chase. However, Matt Henry, who has been in and out of the team due to an injury, wreaked havoc in the first over as he dismissed the legendary player for a 4-ball duck.
Kohli, who scored a match-winning fifty in the first ODI, looked all over the place as Henry knocked Kohli’s stumps, and in the process, the Indian batter created an unwanted feat, joining Sachin Tendulkar on the list.
Most ducks for India in ODIs: Kohli enters unwanted feat
This was Kohli’s 20th duck in this format, and he joins his idol, Sachin Tendulkar, at the top of the list for the most ducks scored by an Indian in ODIs.
The Indian number 3 attained the unwanted feat in 321 matches, while Tendulkar recorded the feat in 463 matches.
Kohli sits at top of the duck list
- Virat Kohli - 20 ducks (321 matches)
- Sachin Tendulkar - 20 ducks (463 matches)
- Javagal Srinath - 19 ducks (229 matches)
- Anil Kumble - 18 ducks (269 matches)
- Rohit Sharma - 18 ducks (295 matches)

Kohli sits above Tendulkar despite having the same number of ducks. This is because he registered the unwanted feat in fewer matches than the former Indian cricketer.
Two legendary bowlers, Javagal Srinath and Anil Kumble, occupy the 3rd and 4th spots, and Rohit Sharma, who, too, was dismissed for zero, sits at fifth with 18 ducks.
Matt Henry's brilliant setup to dismiss Kohli
After Rohit was sent packing, Kohli came at the crease, and Henry had already planned his dismissals.
The Kiwi pacer started with an outswinger as the Indian batter was beaten by the swing. He followed it up with a delivery that angled back into the middle stump.
The third ball was once again a delivery that pitched outside off as the 38-year-old played it towards backward point. For some reason, Kohli was expecting an away-going delivery once again as Henry bowled a length ball that nipped back in, and the Indian star was deceived as his stumps were knocked over.
