India’s luck with the coin has officially gone from bad to bizarre — and Suryakumar Yadav decided to laugh it off.
Moments after Australia won the toss in the 2nd T20I at the MCG, SKY jokingly looked at the camera and quipped “Puja karni paregi”, suggesting divine intervention might be the only way India can finally win a toss.
India’s toss drought has become a running theme in international cricket.
The Men in Blue last won a toss in an ODI during the 2023 World Cup semi-final. Since then:
-
Rohit Sharma: Winless in tosses post World Cup
-
KL Rahul: Toss losses continue
-
Shubman Gill: Lost 10 out of 11 tosses as captain
-
Suryakumar Yadav: And now, 0/2 in this Australia T20I series
Australia, meanwhile, have won the toss in both games of this series — continuing India’s curious streak of bad luck.
Despite the coin curse, SKY remains upbeat, smiling and keeping the mood light — a trait fans are beginning to love as much as his batting.
If the trend continues, Indian fans might just join SKY in saying:
“Puja karni padegi!”
