The India National Cricket Team is currently playing in the third and final ODI against the West Indies at the PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh. During the match, Jayden Seales bowled a ripper to Virat Kohli, who was dismissed for a duck for the first time since the Australia tour in late 2025, where he scored two consecutive ducks.
Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bat first, as the Men in Blue made three changes for the final game, with Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Siraj and debutant Anshul Kamboj making it to the playing XI. The Men in Blue have already won the series after winning the first two matches by similar margins, winning by 8 wickets.
Watch: Jayden Seales cleans up Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, who has been in excellent form, came out to bat early as Gill was dismissed in an unlucky manner. Jayden Seales pitched up the ball around middle, and the ball held its line. Kohli looked to flick it away, missed it, and middle stump was uprooted; the former India captain was back for a golden duck.

The former India captain, after getting out for a duck, joined an unwanted list of most ducks in international cricket for India. He is second on the list with 41 ducks, as he surpassed his former Men in Blue teammate Ishant Sharma. He is just three ducks away from becoming the batter with the most ducks for the Men in Blue in international Cricket.
Virat Kohli unwanted duck list
Virat scored two consecutive ducks in the Australia tour. He recorded consecutive ODI ducks for the first time in his career during India's tour of Australia in October 2025. Now, again in October 2026, he has scored a duck, as his last four ducks in international cricket have all come in October, which is a serious concern for the batter.
Also, the veteran batter has only four golden ducks in international cricket, with three of them against West Indies. Despite a good record against the Caribbean side, Virat Kohli also has some unwanted records against the same opponents. He would want to come back strong in the next ODI series against New Zealand, which starts in November.
West Indies off to a good start
Coming to the match, India has been in real trouble after winning the toss and opting to bat first. As skipper Shubman Gill was the first one to be dismissed on the score of one run. He was strangled down the leg side, gloving a ball from Jayden Seales to Shai Hope. There has been help for the bowlers at the venue for the first few overs.
Rohit Sharma has been cautious from the start as the Windies bowlers are on top of their game in the last game of the series. The former India captain has been batting on 21 runs and will look to score big runs, as he scored a hundred in his last game, and he has been set, with Ruturaj Gaikwad also at the crease.
