Kohli bagged his second successive golden duck on Saturday.
Virat Kohli’s horrendous run in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 continues as he bagged his second successive golden duck on Saturday (April 23). In the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the veteran Royal Challengers Bangalore batter edged Marco Jansen’s outgoing delivery to slips and walked back in utter disappointment. In fact, his tally of 119 runs is his lowest after eight games in an IPL season.
“I think he is at the point and have been at that point in my career on a couple of occasions, it is not nice. It is a very lonely, lonely place especially when you have all eyes on you. Every single thing is Kohli, Kohli, and Kohli. He is in that dark place, I just hope it ends quickly because the game needs him to score runs,” Pietersen told Star Sports.
“It is tough to say anything when the man has not even faced a dozen deliveries. If you have faced at least a dozen deliveries then you get to see whether the feet are moving, whether the man is playing across the line or there is a technical area where you need to do something,” said Gavaskar.
“The last two dismissals I can put down to the fact that he hadn’t got the runs till then. Looking to get off to an aggressive start, and the ball has been moving so hence he has been dismissed,” he added.
