Champions Trophy 2025: India sets unwanted record with 12 consecutive toss losses in ODIs
Dubai: Team India has set an unfortunate record after losing the toss against Pakistan in their Champions Trophy 2025 match, marking their 12th consecutive toss loss in One Day Internationals (ODIs).
This streak began during the ICC World Cup 2023 final and has now become the longest sequence for any team in ODI history.
Previously, India had shared the record with the Netherlands, who lost 11 consecutive tosses between March 2011 and August 2013. The latest toss loss surpasses that record, with defeats spanning across series against South Africa, Sri Lanka, and England under the leadership of both Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.
In the match against Pakistan, played at the Dubai International Stadium, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and chose to bat first.
Despite their toss woes, India remains confident after a strong performance in their opening match against Bangladesh.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
