Fans Come Up With Most Hilarious Reactions On Virat Kohli Losing 8th Straight Toss In England

The Indian cricket team has performed pretty well against England on the first day of the second test match which is being played at Lord’s as the visitors scored 276 runs for the loss of 3 wickets with the help of KL Rahul’s smashing century and Rohit Sharma’s knock of 83.

However, the history was repeated in the second test match too as the Indian skipper Virat Kohli lost the toss once again and it seems that his bad luck (in terms of toss) is not going to leave him any soon. If we talk about 2021, he has lost three straight tosses, beginning from the finals of the World Test Championship which India lost to New Zealand and then he lost the second toss at Trent Bridge. The loss at Trent Bridge was Virat Kohli’s 35th loss in the toss and with it he surpassed former Indian skipper MS Dhoni who lost 34 tosses during his captaincy in the purest form of the game.

What is more interesting is that Virat Kohli has played eight test matches (including the ongoing test match which is being played at Lord’s) in England as a skipper and he has lost all the tosses. In the last 11 test matches that India and England have played against each other, whether in India or in England, Virat Kohli has won only once and lost 10 times. In fact, you will be surprised to know that in 2018, Virat Kohli lost all the tosses that took place in the 5-match bilateral series.

On Thursday, Joe Root once again won the toss and decided to bowl first. He said that he took the decision keeping in mind the weather forecast and hoped that the bowlers would be able to take wickets early. Virat Kohli stated that he would have also liked to bowl first but he added that it is a good chance for his batsmen to put a big score on the board.

The online users also took a funny dig at Virat Kohli for his habit of losing the toss and few people even went on to say that someone else should go for toss instead of Virat.

As far as the ongoing test match is concerned, India made one change as Ishant Sharma replaced Shardul Thakur as the latter suffered hamstring issues. Moreover, the Indian team management once again surprised everyone by not including Ravichandran Ashwin in the squad and choosing Ravindra Jadeja over him.
