Virat Kohli climbs up on unwanted golden duck record after latest first-ball nought in RCB vs MI IPL 2026

Virat Kohli registered back-to-back ducks in the Indian Premier League 2026 after walking back for a first-ball nought against the Mumbai Indians at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur on Sunday, May 10. Kohli fell on the first ball, trying to go past the mid-off as he charged down the track against Deepak Chahar.

However, the RCB talisman could not find the right timing as the ball hit his upper bat and went to mid-off, where Raw Bawa completed



the catch. A dejected Kohli walked back as Raipur, the second home for RCB this season, dived in silence. 

This was Kohli's 12th duck in IPL and eighth golden duck in the tournament's history as he climbs the ladder up. Kohli now has the joint third-most golden ducks in the Indian cash-rich league as he joins the likes of Ishan Kishan and Sunil Narine in the unwanted record list, which is headed by Rashid Khan and followed by Glenn Maxwell in second.
