Kohli out for zero again in RCB vs MI IPL 2026 match 54 — what really happened

RCB opener Virat Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck by Deepak Chahar against the Mumbai Indians in Raipur on Sunday. This was Kohli’s second duck in a row this season, marking the first time in four years that the 37-year-old has been dismissed for consecutive ducks in an IPL season.

The former Indian captain now finds himself in a difficult position after recording his eighth golden duck in the Indian Premier League. Following this first-ball dismissal against Mumbai Indians, he has also slipped out of the tournament’s top ten run-scorers. This poor run of form has also triggered sarcastic reactions from several former England cricketers.

Kohli looked to play a shot over the mid-off region, but the ball bounced a bit more than expected. It hit high on the bat and went straight to Raj Bawa, who dived forward and took a very good catch to send the right-handed batter back for a golden duck.

Only the second time ever: The last time Kohli got two consecutive ducks in the IPL

The MI match is only the second time Virat Kohli has registered consecutive ducks in IPL history. In the previous game against LSG, he was dismissed by a superb inswing delivery from Prince Yadav, which went through his defence and hit the stumps. This was the first time he was out for back-to-back ducks in the IPL since 2022.

The 140-kph ball nipped back sharply to crash into Kohli’s middle and off stump. It also marked his first IPL duck since a first-ball dismissal against Rajasthan Royals in April 2023. The latest dismissal came during the match against the Mumbai Indians at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur, where he was out for a golden duck again.

Kohli looked visibly disappointed with his shot selection as he walked back to the pavilion. It proved to be a major setback for the defending champions, who collapsed under pressure in their chase against Lucknow Super Giants after losing their top order early.

The last time we witnessed this playing out was in the 2022 season, when Kohli failed to put runs on the board in consecutive matches against Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Cook's IPL bet, Vaughan's laugh — and why RCB fans shouldn't panic just yet

In a recent episode of the Stick to Cricket podcast, Michael Vaughan, Alastair Cook, David Lloyd, and Phil Tufnell discussed the weekend’s IPL action. The main focus of the conversation was Virat Kohli’s recent poor form and his rare low scores. The talk became lighter when Phil Tufnell praised Kohli’s young opening partner Jacob Bethell for his steady 27 runs. The panel pointed out the irony of the youngster outscoring the senior batter. David Lloyd then made a sarcastic remark, highlighting how playing alongside Kohli can still end quickly for a batter.

He said, “You can learn so much from batting with Virat Kohli… you’re out first ball.” His comment led to laughter from the panel, including Michael Vaughan and Alastair Cook, as they reacted to the moment with a mix of humour and surprise.

Meanwhile, RCB remain in a key phase of IPL 2026 as they push for a strong finish in the points table and a playoff spot. In the recent match against KKR, Kohli showed signs of recovery and played a useful role in the chase. He also celebrated getting off the mark, with fans cheering loudly in the stadium. Kohli’s small but positive response has brought some relief to RCB supporters. It suggests he may be slowly returning to form, and fans will hope this continues in the upcoming matches.
