Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli had a horrible outing against Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2022 match on Tuesday (April 19) at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai.
Kohli was out for a first-ball duck after he came to bat following the dismissal of Anuj Rawat in the very first over of the match, which was bowled by Dushmantha Chameera.
It was a simple back of a length ball by Chameera and Virat tried to guide it through the off-side. But the former RCB skipper couldn’t control the shot because of bounce as the ball flew off a thickish edge and went straight to Deepak Hooda, who was very alert at the backward point.

Earlier, LSG skipper KL Rahul won the toss and elected to bowl first against RCB.
The Challengers are coming fresh from an emphatic win as they managed to tame a soaring Delhi Capitals with some ecstatic bowling and fielding.
The Super Giants have had a dream start to their campaign and managed to add another win to their tally as they romped over the Mumbai Indians in their previous encounter.
