Prince Yadav has bowled one of the best deliveries of IPL 2026 to get rid of legendary batter Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck during the crucial clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Ekana Stadium.

The young pacer produced an absolute peach to leave Kohli stunned and hand RCB a massive early blow in the run chase.

Prince Yadav cleans up Virat Kohli with dream delivery

Prince Yadav produced an absolute peach to dismiss Kohli and hand RCB a massive early blow in the chase.

Kohli stepped forward looking to defend the delivery but the ball sharply nipped back in through the gap between bat and pad before crashing into the off stump.

Prince immediately punched the air in celebration after dismissing one of the biggest wickets in world cricket as RCB lost both their openers cheaply inside the powerplay.

Virat Kohli registers first IPL duck after 46 innings

With the dismissal, Virat Kohli recorded his first duck in the IPL after 46 innings. The last time Kohli was dismissed for a duck in the tournament came against Rajasthan Royals in Bengaluru during IPL 2023.

Meanwhile, this was also Kohli’s first duck while chasing in the IPL since 2017. Back then, he was dismissed against Kolkata Knight Riders during the infamous game where RCB were bowled out for just 49 runs, which still remains the lowest total in IPL history.

Only two bowlers have now managed to bowl Virat Kohli for a duck in IPL history.

  • 2016 — Dhawal Kulkarni
  • 2026 — Prince Yadav

LSG post fighting total as RCB suffer disastrous start in chase

Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants posted a competitive total on the board with valuable contributions from Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant.

RCB’s chase got off to a disastrous start as first Jacob Bethell was caught at third man off Mohammed Shami before Prince Yadav removed Kohli in the very next over.

Despite the early setbacks, Bengaluru still have plenty of firepower left in their batting lineup to bounce back into the contest.
