Most consecutive toss losses: The last time an Indian captain won the toss in ODI cricket was almost two years ago in 2023. Rohit Sharma is the last Indian captain to win the toss in ODI cricket.
When was the last time an Indian captain won the toss in ODI cricket?
Indian captains have consistently failed to win the toss in ODIs. In the second ODI between India and Australia, Indian captain Shubman Gill lost the toss. This marked Team India's 17th consecutive defeat in which they failed to win the toss. This streak began almost two years ago under Rohit Sharma's captaincy.
India last won the toss 708 days ago
The last time an Indian captain won the toss was in an ODI against New Zealand in the semi-finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup. Since then, neither Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, nor Shubman Gill have won the toss as Indian captain. Meanwhile, new Indian captain Shubman Gill has lost nine out of ten tosses. Although there is no scientific basis for winning the toss, it is strange that India has not won a single toss for so long. Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning the toss.
It is noteworthy that since India started losing the toss, Team India's results have been mixed. India lost the 2023 ODI World Cup final and also lost the series to Sri Lanka. Although the Indian team won its second Champions Trophy title earlier this year, it lost the last series of this year against Australia.
