IN what comes as a big relief to Team India, they have managed to win their first toss since Jan 28, 2025. Yes, at the Asia Cup 2025 opener for India, Suryakumar Yadav managed to break the toss jinx for the nation, that had continued for almost eight months. The team, across formats, had failed to call the toss correctly for 15 times in a row, a record in itself.

Nonetheless, the spree is finally broken, as India decided to bowl first on a bowling-conducive Dubai wicket. Meanwhile, if one just speaks about the lost tosses, that includes five from the IND vs ENG white-ball series earlier in the year, followed by the entire Champions Trophy, extending to the Australia Test series, and even the England Test series.
