On Sunday, February 23, Rohit Sharma-led Team India is taking on arch-rivals Pakistan in a crucial match of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. As Rohit Sharma took the field for toss, alongside his counterpart, Mohammad Rizwan for the toss, it was the latter who came out on top. After winning the toss, Rizwan-led side elected to bat first and posted a competitive total of 241 runs with India bundling them out in 49.4 overs.
Before the Pakistan openers took the crease, at toss, former India cricketer turned commentator Ravi Shastri was seen making a massive blunder. While the moment did not grab several eyeballs initially, but videos of the same went viral in no time which saw Shastri question Rohit Sharma on his decision despite losing the toss.

After speaking to Rizwan, who had won the toss, Shastri asked Rohit, "What have you decided?" before realising that it was the Pakistan captain who had won the toss. A smiling Rohit then said, "Doesn't really matter, they won the toss so we'll bowl first."

"Looks similar to the last game, the surface is on the slower side. We have an experienced unit in batting so we know what we need to do if the pitches get slower. Need an overall performance from the team - with bat and ball. The last game wasn't an easy one for us, which is always nice. You want to be under pressure and test yourself. We are playing the same team," Rohit Sharma further added while speaking at the toss.
Speaking of the 37-year-old, while he played a 41-run knock against Bangladesh, he was dismissed after scoring 20 off 15 deliveries in the crunch match against Pakistan.
