India's world record ODI toss losing streak ended when the flip of the coin went in KL Rahul’s favour during the series-decider against South Africa in Vizag on Saturday (December 6).

For the unversed, India were on a toss losing streak of 20 consecutive ODIs. The streak, which is a one-in-a-million event mathematically, started in the 2023 Cricket World Cup final.

Legendary India opener Sunil Gavaskar had a hilarious interaction with Kapil Sharma after India broke the toss jinx.

Here’s how the interaction unfolded:

Kapil Sharma: "How are you feeling, sir? Our team has won the toss after so many matches."

Sunil Gavaskar: "In the first match, you don't know what the opposition captain is going to say, heads or tails. In the next match, you know what the person is going to say."

Kapil Sharma: "Why do you not give coaching on the toss?"

Sunil Gavaskar: "Batting ke coaching ke liye koi nahi aata, toh toss ke coaching ke liye kaun aayega (Nobody comes to me for batting coaching, so who will come for toss coaching)?"

Coming to the match, India registered a commanding nine-wicket victory over South Africa in the third and final ODI.

Opting to bowl first, the hosts bundled out the Proteas for 270 in 47.5 overs. Prasidh Krishna broke the back of South Africa's top and middle order, returning with figures of 4 for 66 in 9.5 overs. Wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav also picked up four wickets by conceding 41 runs in 10 overs.

In reply, the Men in Blue rode on Yashasvi Jaiswal’s maiden ODI ton (116* off 121) and half-centuries from Rohit Sharma (75 off 73) and Virat Kohli (65* off 45) to get over the line with 61 deliveries to spare, clinching the series 2-1.
