During the 'Cricket Live' show, Kapil Sharma shared the set with Gavaskar, Irfan Pathan, and Parthiv Patel. Kapil asked Gavaskar how he felt after India finally won the toss. Notably, the Men in Blue had lost 20 consecutive tosses in ODIs before the ongoing third game.

Gavaskar replied that the home captain would not know whether the opposition captain would call heads or tails in the first game. However, he said that one could figure out what the opposition captain would call in the following matches.

Therefore, Kapil funnily asked the Indian legend to give coaching on how to win the toss. Gavaskar then came up with a hilarious reply that left everyone laughing.

"Aree yaar batting ke coaching ke liye koi nahi aata toh toss ke coaching kaha du (No one comes to me even for batting coaching then from where should I give coaching for toss)," he said.

Having finally won the toss, India opted to field first. They bowled South Africa out for 270 in the first innings. Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna bagged four wickets each.


Kapil Sharma calls himself India's lucky charm

Kapil Sharma also called himself India's lucky charm. He highlighted how they lost the 2023 ODI World Cup final and how but won the 2024 T20 World Cup after Rohit Sharma appeared on his show (The Great Indian Kapil Show). Similarly, he stated that they won the toss this time around as he appeared on 'Cricket Live'.

"Toss aaj jeetna hi tha kyunki mai aa raha hun. Mai bada lucky charm hu Indian cricket team ke liye. Pichli baar Rohit bhai aye the. World Cup humare hath se nikal gaya tha. Jaise hi woh humare show mein aye, uske baad humne trophy jeet li (We had to win the toss today because I was coming. I am a lucky charm for the Indian cricket team. Last time Rohit had came. We lost the World Cup previously. But after he came on my show, after that we won the trophy)," he said.

India were unbeaten throughout the 2023 World Cup but suffered a heartbreaking defeat against Australia in the final. They won the 2024 T20 World Cup with a thrilling victory over South Africa in the title clash.
