From sharing RCB dressing room to facing him: Duffy excited about Kohli challenge

New Zealand fast bowler Jacob Duffy is eager to test himself against Virat Kohli during the upcoming five-match ODI series, having previously bonded with the star batter during a successful Indian Premier League campaign with Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the year. Duffy recalled their regular net sessions where they frequently locked horns, noting that Kohli maintained a humble demeanor despite his immense celebrity status in the region.

The opening fixture of the series is scheduled to take place in Auckland on November 4, providing Duffy an ideal platform to showcase his skills in the fifty-over format as he aims to secure a spot for the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa. The seamer heads into the international assignment bolstered by a four-wicket haul that propelled his side to an eighty-seven-run victory in the fourth T20 encounter following some expensive outings in earlier matches.
