Virat Kohli’s poor run of form continues as the Indian captain was dismissed for a duck on Day 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Arriving at the crease at 40-2, the right-handed batsman made his way back to the pavilion without troubling the bowlers after he nicked one behind off the bowling of Ben Stokes. Remarkably, Virat Kohli’s scores in the ongoing series are quite identical to those of Indian opener Shubman Gill.
