Watch: IPL 2023 - Virat Kohli Dismissed For Golden Duck vs RR, RCB Fans Left Stunned

The crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru were left stunned as Virat Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. The dismissal took place on the very first ball of the match as Trent Boult bowled a straight delivery that swung a bit in the air and Kohli ended up missing the line completely. The ball crashed into his pads and the umpire had no hesitations in giving his decision in favour of the bowler. This was the 10th duck for Kohli in the IPL till now and among them, seven have been golden ducks.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to field first.

In the special 'Go Green' match, Royal Challengers Bangalore will come out in a green jersey to take on the table toppers Rajasthan Royals. In the previous match, RCB had won against Punjab Kings by 24 runs while RR had lost their second match of the tournament by Lucknow Super Giants.

For RCB David Willey has replaced Wayne Parnell and Faf du Plessis will continue playing as an impact player in the team. RR will play with the same playing XI.

Royal Challengers Bangalore stand-in captain Virat Kohli said at the toss, "It was pretty easy to choose, we'd have batted first. This wicket looks dry and it will get drier and might break up first. I didn't say that to Sanju, but I'm very happy to bat first. We both get to do what we wanted. They informed me last time saying I might have to captain a couple of games, nothing I'm not used to doing. So I'm happy to step in, ready to continue from whatever Faf has been doing. The team has responded well, we are playing with a lot of energy and that showed in the last game.
