IND vs AUS 1st ODI: Australia's Mitchell Starc is currently spearheading the host bowling attack during the series opener in Perth against India. He took the wicket of star India batter Virat Kohli on the first ball of Starc's over. The ex-India batter faced eight balls but couldn't score any runs. Cooper Connolly took the catch. It was the fifth time that Kohli got out on duck for the fifth time in this format in Australia.

After taking Kohli's wicket for a duck, Starc joined James Anderson in the elite list. He had become the second bowler to have been dismissed for a duck twice.

Before dismissing Kohli for a duck on Sunday, Starc had also taken his wicket for a duck in February 2017. During the first innings in Dharamshala, Starc dismissed Kohli for a two-ball duck.
