Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli could not even open his account at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur on Sunday. In the 54th match of IPL 2026, Deepak Chahar dismissed Virat Kohli for a duck against Mumbai Indians. To chase the target of 167 runs, Virat Kohli and Jacob Bethel came on the field for RCB. Deepak Chahar bowled the first over for Mumbai.

Raj Bawa took the catch

Jacob hit two fours on the first two balls and gave the strike to Virat Kohli after taking one run on the third ball. Virat Kohli caught Raj Bawa on the fourth ball. Kohli tried to play the shot over mid-off. The ball bounced a little more than Kohli expected, hit the top edge of the bat and went in the air towards Raj Bawa. He took a brilliant catch while diving forward and dismissed Kohli. After this the Mumbai players jumped with joy.

Out on ‘duck’ for the second time

Kohli has been out on ‘duck’ for the second consecutive time in IPL 2026. Earlier, Kohli could not score any runs even against Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday.
