Indian star batter Virat Kohli registered a golden duck in the third ODI against West Indies in New Chandigarh, marking his first first-ball dismissal in One-Day Internationals in seven years. Jayden Seales dismissed Shubman Gill before breaching Kohli’s defense with a full-length delivery on middle stump. Kohli’s previous golden duck in ODIs came against Kieron Pollard in Vizag back in December 2019. Despite the early setback, India reshuffled their lineup with Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammad Siraj, and debutant Anshul Kamboj taking the field.

The third ODI between India and West Indies at New Chandigarh witnessed an early shock as Indian star batter Virat Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck. After India elected to bat first, pacer Jayden Seales struck twice in three balls during the third over, removing skipper Shubman Gill for 1 before shattering Kohli’s middle stump on his very first delivery. Kohli attempted to flick a full-length delivery on middle stump but misjudged the line, leaving the stadium stunned as the middle stump was uprooted. (India vs West Indies 3rd ODI Scorecard)
