The Champions Trophy final is presently underway, and Rohit Sharma will finish this tournament without winning a single toss. Once again, luck was not on his side. In international cricket, Rohit has now lost 15 straight tosses, the most for an Indian captain at the moment.
Suresh Raina, the 2013 Champions Trophy champion and former great batting all-rounder, is one of the experts who has commented on Rohit’s comical record.
Fans and professionals are finding the humorous side of this unique record. The 38-year-old made a funny statement with a Bollywood allusion, comparing the coin to the one in the beloved Hindi movie “Sholay,” when it was discovered that the coin’s faces were alike on both sides.
“Rohit Sharma should check if the coin is from the movie Sholay (smiles)”, Raina said in reference to Rohit losing tosses in the ICC event.

Rohit Sharma lost his 12th straight toss.
Without a doubt, Rohit has performed admirably as captain during the competition, but he hasn’t consistently produced winning throws. Along with Brian Lara of the West Indies, Rohit has lost 12 straight wickets in One-Day Internationals (ODI) cricket, which is the most by any captain of India.
India has lost 15 straight ODI cricket tosses from 2023 to 2025, surpassing the record of eight consecutive tosses in the 2022–2023 season. In spite of this, the Indian squad continues to have a strong record in this format and has won seven straight One-Day Internationals, including a 3-0 victory over England at home shortly before the Champions Trophy started. It’s reasonable to assume that the coin’s luck hasn’t translated into on-field performances.
