In a rare occurrence, the toss was conducted twice in the J&K vs Vidarbha #RanjiTrophy match! J&K won the first one and opted to field but had submitted an incorrect playing XI sheet, listing one player twice. Under BCCI rules, changes after submission require the opposing captain’s consent. Ultimately, the toss was held again, with Vidarbha winning and opting to field. It is quite rare, don’t think it has happened anywhere before.
