Virat Kohli registers second consecutive duck in IPL 2026; When was the last time RCB batter scored back-to-back ducks?

Virat Kohli suffered a rare lean patch in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter walked out without scoring against Mumbai Indians at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. Chasing Mumbai Indians 166/7, Kohli went for an uppish drive over mid-off of Deepak Chahar.

The ball hit the bat high and went straight to Raj Angad Bawa, who dived forward to complete the catch. A disappointed Kohli walked back for a golden duck. In the last game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Kohli was cleaned up by Prince Yadav for a two-ball duck. This was the 37-year-old Kohli's second score of zero in the ongoing IPL season.

This is not the first time Kohli has been dismissed for two consecutive ducks. The last time, the former RCB captain went through such a moment was four years before in 2022, failing to put runs against Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad in consecutive matches.
