The change of captaincy has brought a change of luck for Team India in T20s, where it has proven to be vital as far as the result of the game is concerned as Rohit Sharma has won his second straight toss in the ongoing three-match T20I series against New Zealand.
The fans hoped that this luck of the coin falling in the favour could have happened a little earlier, with the ex-Indian T20 captain, Virat Kohli, who lost three tosses in a row in the recently concluded ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 and the team won just one of those games.
Many fans couldn't believe that India won two tosses in a row, some suggested if it could have happened a little earlier, not Australian but Indian players would have been celebrating with 'the shoey'. Here are some of the reactions:
Rohit Sharma toh coin Morgan ka Bhai nikla ...back to back toss win
