In a bizarre incident in Match 36 of IPL 2025 game between the Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the toss had to be done twice. With Riyan Parag flicking the coin in the air and Rishabh Pant calling neither heads nor tails, Simon Doull announced that they will have to go for it again.
Parag and Pant had a laugh about it when the former was about to flick the coin in the air again. The visiting captain turned out to be lucky as the coin toss fell in favour of him and he opted to bat first, citing that the pitch looks dry and they want to be the first to take the surface's advantage.
