Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli equalled an embarrassing record after he was dismissed for a duck on Day 2 of the first Test match against New Zealand in Bengaluru on Thursday. Kohli has been struggling to score big in the recent past and his fortunes did not change as he was dismissed by Will O'Rourke without scoring a single run. It was a short of length delivery from the fast bowler that flew off Kohli's gloves and Glenn Phillips was able to complete a good catch at leg gully. This was Kohli's 38th international duck - the most for any active cricketer along with New Zealand's Tim Southee. India skipper Rohit Sharma is third in the unwanted list with 33 ducks.
