Ravi Shastri’s toss blunder leaves Shreyas Iyer, and Shubman Gill shocked
‘Charismatic’ Shastri, who is known for his energetic introductions at the toss, was at his best during the GT vs PBKS clash.
After introducing both the captains to the Ahmedabad crowd, Shastri demanded the toss representative to give the coin to the match referee, and after that, he accidentally said, ‘Shreyas will spin the coin’.
This shocked both the skippers as Shubman Gill was the home captain and had the coin in his hands. Shastri, meanwhile, was quick to acknowledge his mistake and asked Gill to spin the coin.
Here’s how everything unfolded:
Ravi Shastri – Shreyas will spin the coin.
Shreyas Iyer – I’ll spin? (Gill and Iyer shocked)
Ravi Shastri – Ah, I beg your pardon, Shubman will spin the coin.
