The importance of toss has always been considered special in T20 International cricket. Many times the toss changes the course of the match, especially when the pitch and conditions are favorable to the batsmen or bowlers, but imagine, what would happen if a captain wins all the tosses in the entire series? There have been very few occasions in cricket history when captains have done this unique feat. Let us know about those players who have registered their names in the record books by winning all the tosses in the T20 series.

1. Mahela Jayawardene (Sri Lanka)

Sri Lanka's great batsman and captain Mahela Jayawardene achieved this feat in the T20 series played in Canada in 2008-09. In this three-match series, he won all the tosses and led his team to a 3-0 victory. This record is still counted among the special achievements of his captaincy.

2. William Porterfield (Ireland)

Ireland captain William Porterfield won all the tosses in the four-match series played in the ICC World T20 Qualifier (UAE) in 2009-10. Although the team won two matches and lost two during this period, Porterfield's record shows that sometimes winning the toss is not enough, the real work is done by the performance on the field.

3. Stuart Broad (England)

England fast bowler and captain Stuart Broad won all three tosses in the series played against Pakistan in the UAE in 2011/12. Although his team could not win all the matches, Broad made headlines as a captain with his strategy and luck of the toss.

4. Mohammad Hafeez (Pakistan)

In the 2012 series between Pakistan and Australia, Mohammad Hafeez won all three tosses. However, one match was won by Pakistan, one by Australia and one match was tied. This series is an example of how winning the toss may be easy, but the result depends on the performance of the players.

5. Faf du Plessis (South Africa)

Former South African captain Faf du Plessis won all the tosses in the three-match series on the 2013 Sri Lanka tour, but despite this his team won two matches and lost one. In this way, Du Plessis also joined the select group of captains whose luck in the toss can be consistently relied upon.
