Notably, India’s toss-losing streak began in January during the third T20 International of the five-match series against England. The trend extended into the ODI series that followed, where India ended up losing all three tosses. Their luck did not improve in the Champions Trophy 2025, with five more toss defeats, and the pattern continued in the Test series against England, where India lost the toss on all five occasions.
