IPL 2022: RCB skipper Faf du Plessis dismissed for a golden duck by Mohsin Khan

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) got off to a shaky start after being invited to bat by the Lucknow Super Giants in Eliminator 1 of IPL 2022 at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis, who looked in good nick in the team’s eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in their final league game, was dismissed for a golden duck off Mohsin’s Khan bowling, departing in the penultimate delivery of the first over after nicking the ball to keeper Quinton de Kock.

Du Plessis, thus became the first captain to be dismissed for a golden duck in the IPL eliminator, and joined an exclusive list of skippers with a similar score in the playoffs stage of the tournament.

Du Plessis isn’t the only senior RCB batter to have been dismissed in their first delivery of the innings — opener and former captain Virat Kohli has been dismissed for that score thrice this season, two of which came in consecutive innings against Lucknow and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Left-arm seamer Khan, who has been one of Lucknow’s standout performers this season, got his side off to an ideal start with a superb opening over, conceding just four runs in addition to getting du Plessis dismissed in the penultimate delivery. Some aggressive hitting by No 3 batter Rajat Patidar though, helped the three-time runners-up recover to 52/1 at the end of the powerplay. _**Follow live updates on LSG vs RCB IPL 2022 Eliminator here**_ Read all the Latest News**,** Trending News**,** Cricket News**,** IPL Live Score, IPL 2022 schedule, IPL 2022 Points table and Entertainment News.
