Indian skipper Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck on day 2 of the fourth Test. India lost three wickets on the first session and are currently four wickets down chasing England’s first innings total of 205. This was the second duck of the series for the Indian skipper and he has joined an unlikely list also featuring former skipper MS Dhoni. Kohli has equaled Dhoni to the list which is not one he would like to feature. 

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has equaled Dhoni in the list of most ducks scored by an Indian Test skipper. This was Kohli’s eighth duck as captain, doing which he equalled MS Dhoni’s Test record of most dismissals for a duck by an Indian captain. This is also the first time since 2014 that Kohli has been dismissed for a duck twice in a series.
