India vs England 2021: WATCH – Virat Kohli does not wait for match referee’s call during the toss

Virat Kohli has had rotten luck with the toss in the ongoing series between India and England. Out of the 12 matches in the tour, he has won just 2 tosses. Further, he has lost six tosses in a row and all tosses in the ODI series. The same has led to a plethora of memes and shocked responses on social media with regard to probability and the law of averages but the fact of the matter is Kohli has always had bad luck for some reason at the toss.

Kohli has one of the worst toss win percentage in not only recent times but in the history of the game of cricket. His toss win percentage is less than 45% which is extremely low as compared to all the captains at present. India would hope that the record improves and levels out with the passage of time.

At the toss today, England won the toss and opted to field first. Indian skipper Virat Kohli had a look on his face that suggested that he was expecting to lose. Soon after he tossed it and the match referee went to look at the result, Kohli started to walk away from the pitch expecting England to have won it. As it turned out, England and Jos Buttler had in fact, won the toss. The English skipper had a smile on his face as well.

Meanwhile, England opted to field first and decided to bring in Mark Wood for Tom Curran. India brought in T Natarajan for Kuldeep Yadav and decided to go with just 1 spinner in Krunal Pandya.
