In the ongoing second ODI against New Zealand, India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and forget what to do. For the second time in the series, he won the toss. However, this time around, the Mumbaikar elected to bowl first, contrary to the first ODI. Meanwhile, after winning the toss, Sharma forget what to do and took a few seconds to decide whether to bat or bowl first.
At the time, match referee Javagal Srinath, commentator, Ravi Shastri, and the Kiwi skipper Tom Latham kept waiting eagerly. Roughly 15 to 20 seconds later, the India skipper finally elected to bowl first. After the decision, he said that there was talk within the team that they want to challenge themselves under the lights too but for today they had decided to bowl.
And amid all that talk, he forgot what was actually decided. Meanwhile, the video of the entire incident has been going viral.

The fans have now taken a jibe at the 35-year-old. Not to forget, this incident reminds the fans of former Pakistan skipper Javed Miandad telling the commentator that he would ask the team what needs to be done in the 80s.
