The Indian cricket team defeated New Zealand by 8 wickets in the 2nd ODI match to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series here Before the start of the game, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma faced a rare moment where he forgot what to do after winning the toss in the ongoing second ODI on Sunday against New Zealand.
Well, what happened was after Rohit flipped the coin and it went in his favor in Raipur, however, what followed after was pure comedy as the Indian captain forgot whether to bat or bowl first after winning the toss. Rohit took a good minute to make up his mind and then he decided to bowl first.
“I forgot for a minute, because there is a lot of talk within the team, as to what we want to do and all of that. At the same time, we want to challenge ourselves in difficult conditions as well. So, for a minute I forgot we are going to bowl first”

During the conversation, Kohli revealed how Rohit keeps forgetting his things. He also shared an incident where he once forgot his iPad on an airplane. Kohli further stated that he has even lost his passport a few times. Kohli said:
“Jitni cheezein Rohit Sharma bhoolta hai, utna maine kisi ko nahi dekha cheezein bhoolte huye. iPad, phone, wallet… matlab chote-mote kaam nahi seedha cheezein jo daily use ki hain.. ‘I don’t care, naya le lenge’. Usko pata hi nahi rehta hai chhoot gaya hai. Bus aadhe raste ho jaati hai hotel pe, usko yaad aata hai, mera iPad plane mein tha. Passport bhi chhoda hai usne 2-3 baar. Badi mushkil se usne retreive kiya hai He’s left his passport also a few times. It was really difficult retrieving it. The logistical manager always asks, ‘Does Rohit Sharma have all his stuff?’. Once he gets a yes from Rohit then only does the bus departs.”
