After losing nine tosses in a row, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis had hinted, ahead of the third test, that he might bring in someone else to take up the Toss duties hoping to change their luck around.
Recently, Australia Women’s captain Meg Lanning had brought in Alyssa Healy as her toss substitute, stating that she hasn’t had a good series of luck at the toss and maybe bringing in a proxy would help the team.
Even Du Plessis decided to walk down the same road and called in Temba Bavuma to carry out the Toss duties at Ranchi. Bavuma made the call for the tail but it was "heads". Meanwhile, India captain Virat Kohli, who won the toss, burst into laughter at the scene and a hopeful Faf only got his heart broken one more time. Kohli chose to bat as a no-brainer.
Murali Kartik is a funny man!😂😂
Ye sahi hai...tails is the call by Bavuma. Tails it is and India wins the toss. India bats first 😂

The bad luck continues...
Proteas need to hire someone who can guide them in toss. Can't believe we can't win single toss in away matches

Bavuma coming to toss as a proxy captain along with skipper Faf to bring luck !
Virat still wins the toss n bats first
5 changes for South Africa !!
India 2-0 ahead in 3 test series but it’s not a dead rubber with world test championship on
In a quest of not losing straight 10th toss in Asia, Faf Du Plesis walked in with a proxy captain Temba Bavuma along side him at the toss who is also their vice captain as well. But as they say, when your fate has been decided already there is nothing much you can do about it.

Hahahaha..
Amidst all that chaos at the toss, the most hilarious was Karthik nearly shouting Temba won the toss before Virat Kohli showing up in front of his face made him swallow his words.
