England vs India 2018: 4 reasons why India lost the series

#2 The Toss

India lost all the five tosses in this series

Though the outcome of a toss cannot be controlled, the outcome of a match can be controlled by the toss. Kohli’s love for calling ‘Heads’ was demonstrated at the toss after his losing spree remained unbroken till the end of the series.

You can correlate better with the impact of the toss upon the realization that Root lost the only match in which he opted to field first. In all other matches, he elected to bat and evidently ended up on the winning side. Had Kohli and Co batted first on the remaining occasions, who knows what might have happened!
