T20i record: The importance of toss in T20 International cricket has always been considered special. Many times the toss itself changes the attitude of the match, especially when the pitch and the circumstances are favorable to the batsmen or bowlers, but imagine if a captain win all the toss of the entire series? There have been few occasions in cricket history when the captains have shown this unique feat. Let’s know about those players who have won all the toss in the T20 series and have registered a name in the record book.

Sri Lankan great batsman and captain Mahela Jayawardene did this in the T20 series played in Canada in 2008-09. In this three-match series, he won all the toss and gave the team a 3–0 victory. This record is still counted among the special achievements of his captaincy.

William Porterfield – Ireland

Ireland captain William Porterfield won all toss in the four-match series played in the ICC World T20 qualifiers (UAE) in 2009-10. Although the team won two matches and lost two during this period, this record of Porterfield shows that sometimes winning the toss is not enough, the real work is done by performance on the field.

Stuart Broad – England

England fast bowler and captain Stuart Broad won all of the three toss in the series played in UAE against Pakistan in 2011/12. Although his team could not win all the matches, but broad made headlines with his strategy and fate of the toss.

Mohammad Hafeez – Pakistan
