Jacob Duffy gets Virat Kohli's wicket, teases RCB teammate as 'annoying' after Auckland ODI
Jacob Duffy might have taken Virat Kohli's wicket at Auckland, but his RCB teammate had already done the damage by scoring a quick 74 and leading India to a five-wicket rain-affected victory.
Jacob Duffy dismissed Virat Kohli for 74 runs in the first ODI at Eden Park, Auckland. Kohli's 51-ball innings, featuring 13 fours and a six, dashed New Zealand's target of 143 runs from 32 overs after rain reduced the target from 186. Kohli's performance broke Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most ODI runs scored while chasing, with his tally reaching 8,741.
Kohli was praised for his ability to handle the Eden Park bounce and his proficiency at scoring quickly. Teammate Jacob Duffy called Kohli annoying, but ultimately admired his skills.
