Delhi: India and Australia are fighting in the semi -finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. When Indian captain Rohit Sharma landed for the toss in this match being held in Dubai, everyone’s eyes were on him. But this time too, his luck did not support him and the team lost the toss for the 14th consecutive time.
The most consecutive toss losing captain in ODIs:
| Rank | Captain | Team | Time period | Constant loser toss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brian Lara | West Indies | October 1998 to May 1999 | 12 |
| 2 | Peter Boren | Netherlands | March 2011 to August 2013 | 11 |
| 2* | Rohit Sharma | India | November 2023 to March 2025 | 11 |
Rohit Sharma’s fun mistake during toss
After the toss, former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri asked Rohit about playing XI. On this, he accidentally said that his team will play with ‘four spinners and two spinners’. However, he meant four spinners and two fast bowlers. Let us know that India took the same team in the field, which played in the last group stage match against New Zealand. Hearing this, everyone had a smile on his faces.

‘Better to lose toss’ – Rohit Sharma
After losing the toss, Rohit said, “When you are confused about a decision, it is better to lose the toss. The mood of the pitch keeps changing, but we just have to play good cricket. We have done well in all three matches and want to maintain the same rhythm. Now when we have to bowl first, it will be an effort to stop Australia on the least score. “
By winning the toss, Australia decided to bat first. He made two changes in his team. Cooper Conauli has been included in place of Matthew short and Tanveer Sangha is included in Spencer Johnson.
