Even before the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan match began, Rohit Sharma enlisted himself in an unwanted record. The packed Dubai crowd waited for the toss, where Mohammad Rizwan opted to bat first. Incredibly, it put Rohit Sharma and the Indian team in an unfortunate feat. With this loss at the toss, India have become the team with the most consecutive toss losses in ODI cricket history. The Men in Blue haven’t won a toss in an ODI since the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad.
