England has the lead in the 3-match Test series against Sri Lanka by 2-0 with the third match going on in Colombo. Before coming to Sri Lanka, the Englishmen had defeated India by 4-1 in a five-match series.
Apart from the outcome of the series, there is another common thing in these two series; England winning the toss throughout the series. In last 8 matches, Joe Root has won all the tosses and lost only one game out of them.
Indian spinner R Ashwin is suspicious over the record. He smells something fishy as the toss is going in favor of England again and again. He jokingly asked ICC to look into the matter on Twitter.
"Annnndddd Joe Root wins his 8th toss in a row, yes England have played some awesome cricket, but such a winning streak with the toss is incredible. Dear match referees please check the coins you dish out???????? #EngvSL," Ashwin wrote.
