IPL: 5 bowlers who dismissed Virat Kohli for golden duck

The modern-day great and former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has brilliant records in the Indian Premier League as he is the highest run-scorer in the history of the cash-rich league scoring 6903 runs in 230 matches at an average of 36.52. During this, he has smashed 48 half-centuries and 5 centuries.

However, there were also many moments when Kohli had to face embarrassment as he has registered a duck ten times in the IPL. On that note, we will take a look at 5 bowlers who got Kohli out on a golden duck.

1. Ashish Nehra

Former Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra was known for his brutal bowling in the initial overs of the game because of his ability to swing the ball inwards and the same he did with Kohli in the inaugural season of IPL in 2008. Nehra used to play for Mumbai Indians back then.

2. Sandeep Sharma

The stylish left-arm pacer Sandeep Sharma has played for multiple franchises in the cash-rich league. But in 2014, when he used to play for Sunrisers Hyderabad, and got Kohli out on a golden duck. Kohli looked in trouble every time he faced left-arm pacers.

3. Nathan Coulter-Nile

Australian fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile became the first overseas pacer to get Kohli out on a golden duck in 2017. RCB clashed against MI in which Coulter-Nile didn’t even let Kohli to open his account and sent him back to the pavilion in the very first ball.

4. Dushmantha Chameera

Sri Lankan speedster Dushmantha Chameera played for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 15th edition of IPL and became the 4th bowler and 2nd overseas bowler to get Kohli dismissed on a golden duck in 2022. However, he didn’t participate in the ongoing season.

5. Trent Boult

New Zealand veteran left-arm speedster Trent Boult was seen troubling Kohli many times in international cricket and he was seen troubling Kohli again in the ongoing 16th edition of IPL as he got him out in the very first ball of the match by LBW.
