Rohit Sharma had a brain fade during the toss in the second ODI between India and New Zealand which is being played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Saturday. Rohit won the toss but forgot what he wanted his team to do first. It took him over 10 seconds to come to the decision of bowling first as opposition captain Tom Latham and match referee Javagal Srinath waited eagerly for the India skipper to take a call.
