Team India skipper Rohit Sharma had a funny moment during the toss against Pakistan as he forgot the coin was in his trouser's pocket at the Nassau International County Stadium in New York, with the star initially asking the match referee for it. In a video surfaced on social media, Babar Azam was also seen smirking at the same as he could not contain it.
The veteran opening batter had a funny moment in the opening match against Ireland as well as he forgot the names of the players who had been benched. Similar incidents have also occurred in a few Indian Premier League (IPL) matches, leaving his fans on social media in splits.
As far as the cricketing side of the things go, Rohit lost the toss as Babar Azam opted to bowl first, citing the presence of overcast conditions and moisture on the surface.

When asked Rohit, he said he would have fielded first too and underlined the need to asses the conditions well.
