United States pacer Saurabh Netravalkar dismissed India's Virat Kohli for a golden duck in their ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 match at New York's Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
Netravalkar is the first bowler to dismiss Kohli on a golden duck in the competition's history. Kohli has played 28 innings, scoring 1146 runs.
Meanwhile, this is also the first time Kohli was dismissed at single-digit scores in four consecutive international innings.
At the start of the year, he was dismissed for a duck against Afghanistan. In three T20 World Cup innings, he went back on scores of 4, 1 and 0.
It must be noted India are chasing a target of 111 against the co-hosts USA.

Nitish was the only batter for the USA, scoring 27 off 23 balls. Opener Steven Taylor chipped in with 24 (30).
