India’s star batter Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck again in the second ODI against Australia in Adelaide on Thursday. He was left absolutely confused when Xavier Bartlett nipped one back and was successful in beating him on the inside edge and directly pinned him on the front pad.

Kohli could not even take the DRS because the time was over and he walked straight back but one gesture that gained attention was that he got standing ovation from the Adelaide crowd and Kohli then raised his gloves which has left many to speculate whether he did this because it was his last match in Adelaide or there’s retirement coming.

Virat kohli's downfall started the day he prioritised personal life more than playing more cricket,if you want to be on you gotta give respect and priority to the game. Here Im not criticizing his personal choice but he's not that virat kohli we have seen over the yrs.#INDvsAUS

This is Virat Kohli’s 40th duck in international cricket and fourth against Australia. This is most likely the last time Kohli is playing in Adelaide and his retirement talks have already started.
