Rohit Sharma suffered a brain fade during the toss in the second ODI between India and New Zealand at the Shaheed Bir Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Saturday. Rohit won the toss but forgot what he wanted his team to do first. It took him more than 10 seconds to decide to bowl first as opposition captain Tom Latham and match referee Javagal Srinath anxiously waited for the India captain’s call.
“I forgot what we wanted to do, had a lot of discussion with the team about the toss decision, just wanted to challenge ourselves in difficult situations, but we will bowl first,” said Rohit. “We batted first in Hyderabad, we wanted to bowl first here, the same team.”
Rohit’s brain-fading moment led to hilarious reactions on Twitter and fans flooded the social media platform with jokes and memes.
Here are some of the best responses:
