In cricket, toss is the only aspect that has element of luck. In the second Test here that India won by 246 runs, captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat. India won the game convincingly as England batsmen, chasing a mammoth target, struggled to stand against the Indian spinners on a worn out surface. I think toss has its importance but it does not bear much relevance in Test cricket because whichever team plays well." With England already experimenting in their county cricket, the debate of doing away with the toss might once again rise.
