RCB vs MI, IPL 2026: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) batting stalwart Virat Kohli has suffered rare consecutive failures in IPL as he got out for a duck against the Mumbai Indians on Sunday the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur. With Prince Yadav dismissing Kohli for a two-ball duck in the game against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Deepak Chahar went one better, getting the better of the veteran off the first ball. Given Kohli’s prolific record in IPL, it is worth exploring when did Kohli last get out for consecutive ducks.
RCB vs MI, IPL 2026: When did Virat Kohli last get out for consecutive ducks?
It was in the 2022 edition that the former Royal Challengers had got out for consecutive ducks when Dushmantha Chameera dismissed him during the game against the Super Giants. A game later, SunRisers Hyderabad’s Marco Jansen did the same. It was also the first season since 2017 that the Delhi-born didn’t cross a tally of 400 runs, finishing only with 341.

On Sunday, Kohli danced down the track looking to clear mid-off but mistimed it as Raj Angad Bawa took a diving catch to give Mumbai Indians a massive breakthrough.
RCB vs MI, IPL 2026: How much have the Mumbai Indians set for Royal Challengers Bengaluru?
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians have set the defending champions a modest 167 to win, led by Naman Dhir’s brisk 47 and Tilak Varma scoring a matured 42-ball 57. But the Mumbai Indians had also found themselves in an early pickle, crashing to 28/3 after Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Ryan Rickelton (2), Rohit Sharma (22) and Suryakumar Yadav (0). Bhuvneshwar was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4-0-23-4, while Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Salam Dar and Romario Shepherd snared one each.
Rajat Patidar and co. are looking to notch their third successive win over the five-time champions. The Royal Challengers had beaten the Mumbai Indians on the last two occasions at the Wankhede Stadium. Earlier in the tournament, Phil Salt, who is not playing today, belted a 36-ball 78 top-scoring for them to lift their side to 240/4 in 20 overs. Although Sherfane Rutherford cracked a brutal 71 off 31 deliveries and stayed unbeaten, the defending champions won by 18 runs.
