The coin continues to show no mercy to Rohit Sharma. In a bizarre sequence of misfortune, the Indian captain lost yet another toss—this time against Australia in the semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. (Match Blog | Full Coverage)
With this, India라이브 바카라 streak of consecutive toss losses in ODIs has now stretched to an astonishing 14 matches, setting a new world record.
Rohit, who has been at the helm for most of this streak, has personally lost 11 tosses in a row, now tying Netherlands’ Peter Borren for the second-most consecutive toss defeats by a captain.
Only West Indies legend Brian Lara, who lost 12 straight tosses between 1998 and 1999, stands ahead. If Rohit라이브 바카라 unlucky run continues, he may soon find himself with a record no captain would ever want.
India라이브 바카라 woes with the toss began on the grandest stage - 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia in Ahmedabad. Since that fateful night, where Australia denied India the title despite their dominant run in the tournament, the Men in Blue haven’t caught a break. Whether playing at home or overseas, Rohit Sharma라이브 바카라 luck at the toss has been nothing short of disastrous.
The pattern persisted through India라이브 바카라 tours of South Africa (December 2023) and Sri Lanka (August 2024), as well as their home ODI series against England (February 2025). Even the Champions Trophy has offered no respite, with Rohit miscalling the toss in all three league matches before suffering the same fate in the semi-final against Steve Smith라이브 바카라 Australia.
With their latest toss defeat, India have now surpassed the previous record for most consecutive ODI toss losses, officially standing alone at 14 straight failures. The streak hasn’t just impacted Rohit - the stand-in captain KL Rahul also suffered a similar fate, losing three tosses in India라이브 바카라 ODI series in South Africa.
While India have largely managed to perform well despite their toss troubles, the importance of winning the flip cannot be ignored, especially in major ICC events. Rohit라이브 바카라 continued bad luck has meant that India have rarely been able to dictate terms at the start of matches, particularly in conditions where batting first or second can make a huge difference.
Despite the mounting losses at the toss, Rohit has taken it all in stride. After yet another incorrect call in Dubai, he joked, “I don’t even think about it anymore. When you’re ready to do both (bat and bowl), losing the toss makes the decision easier.”
His relaxed approach is admirable, but fans and analysts alike can’t help but wonder - when will this streak finally end? With one more toss loss, Rohit will equal Lara라이브 바카라 record of 12 straight toss defeats, and if the streak extends beyond that, he’ll claim the title of the most unlucky captain at the toss in ODI history.
