Virat Kohli has returned to lead the Test side after resting in the first match.
India captain Virat Kohli isn't too lucky with the toss but he won it against New Zealand in the second Test on Friday (November 3). Even Kohli was surprised after getting a toss in his favor which mostly doesn't happen.
Former India batter Wasim Jaffer joked about Kohli winning the toss on Twitter with a meme, and even the Indian cricket fans couldn't stop tweeting about it. Kohli has won only 29 tosses in 66 Test matches he captained overall, and he lost the toss 37 times.

"Virat Kohli entering the dressing room after winning the toss Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes #INDvNZ," wrote Jaffer on Twitter.
Kohli decided to bat first after winning the toss in Mumbai. "We're batting first. Looks like a hard wicket and not a lot of grass. With the sun out, it should be the best time to bat," he said during the toss.
India are playing without Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ishant Sharma in the final Test match of the series. "Rahane had a hammie niggle on Day 5, Jadeja has a swollen right forearm, and Ishant has an injury too. We just have to do the basics right like in Kanpur. NZ must be given credit for batting out the overs on Day 5. We can be in positions to capitalize at home if we play well," he added.
