Watch: Rohit Sharma finds a funny way of calling the toss in Sharjah
The Indian Premier League (IPL) game between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) is now underway at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. After winning the toss, MI captain Rohit Sharma requested RR to bat first since the conditions hadn't changed much in the second half of the game. Sanju Samson, the RR's captain, threw the coin into the air, and Rohit called out, "HEAAADDDS," as he stated.
After listening to Rohit's quirky call for the toss, the presenter Simon Doull called it as "Best call of the tournament". Rohit Sharma, who has won the toss, said, βWe have tried everything in this UAE leg, but the wicket here doesnβt change much. We know where we stand at the moment. Two changes: Ishan for de Kock and Neesham for Krunal.β
