Virat Kohli Equals Sachin Tendulkar’s Unwanted ODI Record with 20 Ducks

India's star batter Virat Kohli has equalled an unwanted record in One-Day International cricket. During the fourth ODI against New Zealand at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday, Kohli was dismissed for a duck after facing just four deliveries. This took his total number of ODI ducks to 20, placing him alongside Sachin Tendulkar at the top of the list of Indian batters with the most ducks in the format. A notable difference is that Tendulkar reached the mark in 463 matches, while Kohli has done so in 321 matches.

Former India fast bowler Javagal Srinath is third on the list with 19 ducks. Anil Kumble, Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh have recorded 18 ducks each. Meanwhile, Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya holds the overall record for the most ducks in ODI cricket. He was dismissed without scoring 34 times in 433 innings. Kohli, who has surpassed several of Tendulkar's records during his career, now shares this unwanted ODI milestone with the former India great.
