00:00 Rohit Sharma tosses the coin far away.

00:02 In the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023,

00:05 India has consistently demonstrated its dominance

00:07 by winning all 10 matches, securing a spot in the final.

00:11 Amidst this remarkable run, former Pakistani cricketer

00:14 Sikandar Bakht stirred controversy

00:15 by suggesting that India might be exploiting the toss

00:18 to gain an unfair advantage.

00:21 Bakht alleged that Indian captain Rohit Sharma deliberately

00:24 tosses the coin far away from the other captain,

00:26 making it challenging for them to observe the outcome.

00:29 Bakht, here are the toss results of all the 10 matches.

00:32 In five of them, India won the toss.

00:35 In the rest five, India lost the toss.

00:37 And the result, the same.

00:39 India won comprehensively all the 10 matches.

00:42 This curious conspiracy theory has

00:44 left many former Pakistani cricketers stunned,

00:46 with cricketing legends like Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik

00:49 expressing their incredulity.

00:51 In fact, they point blank refused

00:53 to entertain such an argument.

00:55 Wasim Akram reacted as a fan, asked the question

00:58 about the same on the pavilion on A Sports.

01:00 Wasim Akram said, "Who decides where the coin should land?

01:04 It is just for sponsorship.

01:05 I feel embarrassed."

01:07 Akram further said, "I can't even.

01:09 I don't even want to comment on it."

01:11 Mohin Khan, meanwhile, insisted that Bakht is creating

01:14 a fuss out of nothing.

01:15 He is mistaken, just creating a fuss.

01:17 Every captain has a different way of tossing their coin.

01:19 Former Pakistani wicketkeeper, batsman Mohin Khan said this.

01:23 Shoaib Malik said, "This shouldn't even be discussed."

01:26 Despite India's consistent success in the toss,

01:28 Bakht's insinuations of foul play

01:30 have been met with skepticism, especially

01:33 from the Indian cricket fans.

01:35 They argue that the accusations are fueled by jealousy,

01:38 given Pakistan's disastrous performance in the tournament.

01:41 Former Indian cricketer, Akash Chopra,

01:43 responded with a quote emphasizing "maturity"

01:47 over baseless claims.

01:48 While the controversy lingers, the undeniable fact

01:51 is that India, with its impeccable form,

01:53 is set to face either Australia or South Africa

01:57 in the final on November 19 in Ahmedabad.

02:00 Good luck, Pakistan, with your cricket, economy,

02:03 logical thinking, and a host of things in the days, months,

02:08 and years to come.
