'That's the most pressure I've had'

"Honestly, that's the most pressure I've had because we haven't won a toss in a long time. I've been practising, but clearly it's not working," Rahul said after losing the toss in Raipur. 

Just in ODIs, India have now lost the toss in 20 consecutive games. The losing streak of tosses in ODIs started from the 2023 World Cup final in Ahmedabad.

Rahul admitted that the dressing-room environment is good and that is a big positive for the side. 

"I think we did really well last game. A lot of positives from the last game, so just trying to continue that. And, come out here, play hard cricket again. They pushed us last game as well. We know what to expect. The boys are looking in good shape. And I'm excited about this game. Before the series as well, we spoke about it (dew)," Rahul said.
