T20 World Cup 2024: WATCH - Babar Azam bursts into laughter as Rohit Sharma forgets coin in his pocket during toss

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first in the all-important game.

India skipper Rohit Sharma is quite a character both on and off the field. His one-liners and banter with teammates often spark memes on social media.

Rohit is currently leading India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies. On Sunday (June 9), he gave the fans another reason to laugh.

During the toss for India’s T20 World Cup match against arch-rivals Pakistan, Rohit Sharma had a brain-fade moment.

The Indian captain was supposed to flip the toss coin but forgot where he kept it. After checking for a bit, Rohit realized that he had the coin in his pocket. His act also left Pakistan skipper Babar Azam in splits.

Here’s the video:

Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bowl first in the all-important game. However, the light drizzle and wet outfield delayed the start of the match by almost an hour.

The Men in Blue entered the big match on the back of a thumping eight-wicket victory over Ireland in New York. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of USA in their campaign opener in Dallas.
