Rohit Sharma’s toss curse continued, as New Zealand won the toss and as expected opted to bat first in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (March 9). Rohit Sharma’s luck at the toss remained unchanged, putting him in the unwanted record books.
The Indian captain has now lost 12 consecutive tosses in ODIs, a streak that has been continued since the 2013 ODI World Cup. After losing the toss in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final, Rohit has equaled the unwanted record set by West Indies legend Brian Lara.
