'7 out of 7': India's incredible toss record under Rahul Dravid leaves netizens enthralled

The Indian cricket team won the toss ahead of the second Test match against South Africa and decided to bat first. Earlier in the day, India Test skipper Virat Kohli made headlines for missing the second Test at Wanderers in Johannesburg due to injury, while KL Rahul became the 34th Captain on Team India in the Test format of the game. Meanwhile, by winning the toss against Proteas skipper Dean Elgar, India won their seventh toss in seven matches, while playing under head coach Rahul Dravid.

Dravid was appointed as the head coach of the Men In Blues, following the conclusion of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 and his first assignment in the role was India vs New Zealand three-match T20I series, followed by the two-match Test series against the Kiwis. Meanwhile, Dravid is currently with the India squad in South Africa, in his first foreign assignment as the Indian head coach. While India's limited over skipper Rohit Sharma won all three tosses against the Kiwis in the T20I series, Ajinkya Rahane won the toss in the first Test against New Zealand, before Kohli returned to win the toss in the second Test. Meanwhile, India has won both the tosses in the Test series against the Proteas so far.

How did the netizens react?

On witnessing India win their seventh toss in seven matches under head coach Rahul Dravid, Indian cricket fans were enthralled as they took to Twitter to express their views on the same. A fan tweeted a picture from the famous Indian web series, ‘Mirzapur’, and said that whenever an Indian skipper walks out for a toss ahead of a match, Dravid must be sure about winning the toss. At the same time, other fans hailed India’s toss record under Dravid by labelling it as an unreal thing.
