Shubhaman Gill equalled Virat Kohli, registered the worst record of the 21st century

Indian captain Shubman Gill has lost all five tosses in the series against England. England also won the toss in the fifth Test, deciding to bowl first. This is not the first time in Test cricket that a team has lost all the tosses in a five-match series. This is the 14th time in total that a team has lost all the tosses in a 5-match Test series. This happened for the first time in the 21st century during the Indian team's tour of England in 2018. Joe Root, who was the captain of England at that time, won all the tosses against India.

Only four times in the 21st century

This has happened only four times in the 21st century when a captain has lost all the tosses in a five-match Test series. This happened for the first time in this century with Virat Kohli, who lost all 5 tosses during Team India's tour of England in 2018. At the same time, Shubman Gill has become the second such captain in the 21st century. Let us remind you that at that time England was victorious 4-1 in the Test series. Talking about the current series, England is ahead 2-1 after 4 matches.

India's streak of losing the toss continues

The Indian team has lost the 15th consecutive toss in men's international cricket, which is a world record in itself. Team India's streak of losing the toss continues since January 31, 2025, when Suryakumar Yadav lost the toss as captain in the fourth T20 match against England. After that the Indian cricket team has not been able to win a single toss in international matches. Before India, the record of losing the most tosses was held by the West Indies, which lost 12 consecutive tosses in 1999.
