Cricketer Arshin Kulkarni's IPL debut was a flop in the IPL-2024 match played yesterday. Kulkarni, part of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), became the victim of a golden duck (out on the first ball). In the 48th match of IPL 2024 against Mumbai Indians (MI), he returned to the pavilion in the very first over. He was given out LBW by fast bowler Nuwan Thushara on the fourth ball. Kulkarni has had an unforgettable IPL experience throughout his life. He has made an unwanted record in his name.
It is noteworthy that Kulkarni came to start the innings with captain KL Rahul. Thushara did not give any runs on the first and second balls. Rahul took a single on the third ball. After this, Kulkarni, who was on strike, tried to play the full length ball on the on side but missed. The umpire did not give out, after which wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan requested a review from captain Hardik Pandya. The review went in favor of Mumbai.
Kulkarni has become the second opener to become the victim of a golden duck in the first innings of IPL. Apart from this, the same happened with Joe Denly. In 2019, he was out on his very first ball in the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals match. LSG fielded 19-year-old Kulkarni as an impact substitute in place of fast bowler Mayank Yadav. Kulkarni made a lot of headlines with his brilliant batting in the Under-19 World Cup 2024.
Mumbai set a target of 145 runs at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, which LSG achieved in 19.2 overs at the loss of six wickets. All-rounder Marcus Stoinis scored a half-century. He faced 45 balls and scored 62 runs. He hit 7 fours and two sixes. Rahul played an innings of 28 runs in 22 balls with the help of three fours and one six. Both of them made a partnership of 58 runs for the second wicket. Nicholas Puran remained unbeaten after scoring 14 runs.
