[Watch] Virat Kohli gets bowled for 0 by 21-year-old Sri Lankan bowler Dilshan Madushanka in Asia Cup 2022
Virat Kohli failed to continue his good form in Asia Cup 2022 in the Super 4 match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday (September 6). After scoring two fifties in his previous two innings, Kohli got out for a duck.
Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to field first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Men in Blue got off to a disastrous start as opening batter KL Rahul was trapped in front of his stumps by Maheesh Theekshana in just the second over
Left-arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka rattled Kohli's stumps with a length ball in the next over. Kohli tried to play a pull but the ball seamed back and hit the wicket.
