A wax statue of ace India cricketer Virat Kohli was installed at the Jaipur Wax Museum on the occasion of World Heritage Day on Thursday.
The two-match India-Bangladesh Test series has commenced with the first Test being currently played at Indore’s Holkar Stadium. In the second day of the Indore Test, Indian captain Virat Kohli walked back to the pavilion without a run against his name.
Virat was dismissed LBW (Leg Before Wicket) by pacer Abu Javed. Consequently, Kohli became the fifth Indian to be out for a duck against Bangladesh in Test matches.

Both of them have been dismissed twice for a duck against Bangladesh in the longest format of the game.
Virat’s 10th Test duck
According to reliable sources, this was Virat Kohli’s 10 Test duck in his 140th innings. Notably, Kohli had waited for 7 innings for his maiden fifty while his first hundred had come in his 15th Test innings.
