This marks his 10th consecutive toss loss as captain, and India\u2019s 13th straight toss loss in ODIs, putting the team in an unwanted record streak.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"403\" data-end=\"621\">With this streak, Rohit has now entered the list of captains with the most consecutive toss losses in ODI history. He trails only Brian Lara and Peter Borren, who lost 12 and 11 tosses in a row, respectively.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"683\">Most consecutive tosses lost by a captain in ODIs:<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"867\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 Brian Lara (West Indies) \u2013 12 (Oct 1998 \u2013 May 1999)<br data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"746\" \/>2\ufe0f\u20e3 Peter Borren (Netherlands) \u2013 11 (Mar 2011 \u2013 Aug 2013)<br data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"810\" \/>3\ufe0f\u20e3 Rohit Sharma (India) \u2013 10 (Nov 2023 \u2013 Mar 2025)<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"1184\">The streak is now one of the biggest talking points, with fans joking about whether Rohit should consider switching hands or trying out new superstitions. While tosses are purely luck-based, they play a crucial role in setting up match strategies, especially in a high-stakes tournament like the Champions Trophy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1416\">Interestingly, despite the poor toss record, India has performed exceptionally well in ODIs under Rohit\u2019s captaincy. The team has adapted to different situations, showing resilience regardless of whether they bat first or chase.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1646\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">With the semifinals coming up, fans will be watching closely to see if Rohit\u2019s misfortune at the toss finally takes a turn. Will he break the streak in the knockout rounds, or will he edge closer to Brian Lara\u2019s all-time record?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rohit Sharma\u2019s luck at the toss continues to nosedive, as he lost yet another toss in the Champions Trophy 2025\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":437,"featured_media":28214,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/437"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
