Virat Kohli’s poor form with the bat continues as the Indian skipper was dismissed for cheap in the 1st T20I against England at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday (March 12, 2021). The 32-year-old failed to disturb the scoreboard before he was sent packing by Adil Rashid in the third over of the game for his 28th duck in international cricket.

The Indian skipper failed to make any significant scores in the Test series and carried that poor run of form in the T20Is as well as he was dismissed for a duck by Adil Rashid. Struggling to score runs, the 32-year-old tried to break free and go over the mid-off region but wasn’t able to get the required elevation and gave an easy catch for Chris Jordan, who didn’t make any mistake.

Virat Kohli has struggled to score massive runs in recent times and hasn’t scored a century in his previous 37 matches in international cricket. Following his dismissal in the last Test match against England, this is the first time that the Indian skipper has been dismissed for consecutive dicks in international cricket.
Speaking of the game, India are in a poor position at the moment, losing three quick wickets inside the power-play. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant will be looking to rebuild the Indian innings, with the latter already starting with positive intent.
