Virat Kohli hasn't won a single toss in the ongoing three-match ODI series against England.
India captain Virat Kohli's bad luck with the toss continues as he lost it once again in the third ODI against England. It was Kohli's sixth consecutive toss loss for India.
R Ashwin, India's Test bowler, reacted to the loss and jokingly asked for a coin change. "Change the coin please! #matchrefree #javagalsrinath #toss #INDvsENG", he wrote on Twitter.

Kohli has won only 2 tosses out of 12 on England's tour to India. The last time India won the toss was in the 2nd T20I at Ahmedabad.
Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer came up with wordplay after Kohli failed with the coin. "First it was Coin Morgan now it's Toss Buttler, Virat Kohli just can't catch a break ????♂️ #INDvsENG", his tweet read.
Jos Buttler is the stand-in captain for England as Eoin Morgan got ruled out from the ODI series after the first match because of injury. After Buttler won the toss, Kohli said he would have bowled first as well.
“The old saying is the toss is not in your control - it's completely out of my control now! I would have bowled first as well,” he said.
“Looks like the best wicket of the series. Looking forward to executing our plans, putting a strong total on the board, and defending with the ball. Our best cricket has come when our backs have been against the wall.
“We had to come back in the Test series, and T20Is we had to come back twice. Not had to come back here, but it's a decider,” Kohli added.
