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.
