India captain Rohit Sharma was at the center of attention thanks to his memory failing him during the toss in the second ODI against New Zealand which is being played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur on January 21.
The Men in Blue came into the match after victory in the first encounter of the three-ODI series in Hyderabad and skipper Rohit Sharma continued his good form with the coin, winning the toss once again at the venue which was hosting its first-ever international match.
However, after calling correctly and winning the toss, Rohit Sharma seemingly forgot what the team had decided to do after winning the toss and had to think hard to recall. This left New Zealand captain Tom Latham and match-referee Javagal Srinath, anxiously waiting for Sharma to reveal his decision.

After a 10-15 second delay, Rohit announced that India will bowl first much to the relief of Srinath and Latham shook hands with Rohit with a big smile on his face.
