Virat Kohli on Friday matched one of the unwanted records of batting legend Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli was dismissed for a four-ball duck as India suffered a 244-run defeat against New Zealand in the fourth ODI at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.The dismissal took Kohli’s duck tally in ODI cricket to 20, bringing him level with Tendulkar for the most ducks by an Indian batter in the format. However, Kohli reached the mark in 321 matches, while Tendulkar took 463 matches to register the same number.It was a day to forget for the Indian batting line-up as Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson took full advantage of the conditions to bowl out the visitors for just 89 and defend a target of 334.
