DUBAI: Sri Lanka fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka bowled India’s Virat Kohli for a duck in a crucial Asia Cup Super Four contest on Tuesday. 

Kohli, who struck form after an extended batting slump with two successive half-centuries in the tournament, missed a length delivery from Madushanka. 

The star batsman — who faced just four balls — walked back to stunned silence from a sparse crowd dominated by Indian fans. 

India, who lost their Super Four opener to Pakistan, had been sent in to bat after Sri Lanka won the toss. 

India desperately need a win to stay in the hunt for the final on September 11.
