Raipur: The India and New Zealand cricket teams, the referee and commentator for the second one-dayer here on Saturday had to wait for a few extra minutes for the match to begin, the reason, however, being unusual.
India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss, but forgot what the team had planned to do.
As a result, match referee Javagal Srinath, Kiwi captain Tom Latham and commentator Ravi Shastri waited for the India captain to declare his team’s choice of action in the match.
As he mentioned his decision to commentator Ravi Shastri, Rohit Sharma said, “I forgot what we wanted to do, had plenty of discussions with the team about the toss decision, just wanted to challenge ourselves under difficult conditions, but we’ll bowl first.”

Mangaluru: Congress MP and former Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada Sasikanth Senthil has countered Gali Janardhan Reddy’s allegations linking the MP to the Dharmasthala mass burial case, calling the BJP MLA’s statement baseless and hollow.
Senthil, who spoke to Vartha Bharati on the issue, expressed suspicion that Reddy was making the false charges against him as he had played a prominent role in revealing the MLA’s illegal activities when he was Assistant Commissioner of Ballari district.
“The ‘vote theft’ issue is making news across the nation and Reddy might also be attempting to link me to the Dharmasthala case to divert the attention of citizens, but I do not wish to comment on the matter,” Senthil stated.
The BJP MLA from Gangavathi in Koppal district on Tuesday accused the former IAS officer of playing a role in the propaganda against Dharmasthala, adding that the Karnataka government too had formed the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case under pressure from Senthil. He also alleged that the anonymous and ‘masked’ complainant is a native of Tamil Nadu and a close associate of Senthil.
