Explanation

A 'king-pair' occurs when a batsman is dismissed for a duck (zero) on the very first ball they face in each innings of a match. Getting out first ball is called a 'golden duck'; doing it in both innings is a 'pair'; and when it happens on the very first ball of both innings, it's specifically a 'king-pair'.
