View submission: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma equals Brian Lara’s unwanted record of 12 consecutive toss losses in ODIs. Meanwhile, Team India extends its streak to 15 tosses lost in a row.

Rohit lost 12 of them

Probability of this happening is (1/2)¹² = 1/4096

That's 0.0244%

I think this record will remain untouchable for long, because It's purely luck(or maybe bad luck)

It's the same probability for anyone with 12 tosses having any results in any order

For anyone interested

Future probabilities:

• Losing 13 coin tosses in a row: (1/2) ^ 13 = 1/8192 ≈ 0.0122%
• Losing 14 coin tosses in a row: (1/2) ^ 14 = 1/16384 ≈ 0.0061%
• Losing 15 coin tosses in a row: (1/2) ^ 15 = 1/32768 ≈ 0.0031%

Yet there are two captains in history with similar record. This is not how probabilities work.
