At the Asia Cup T20 toss between India and Oman, both captains — Suryakumar Yadav and Jatinder Singh — stumbled as they forgot to announce the names of the players left out of their respective teams.

India made two changes to their line-up, resting Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy.

Captain Suryakumar Yadav managed to recall only one replacement and forgot the other, saying: " Harshit comes in, there is one more guy. Oh my god!"

Later, joking with presenter Ravi Shastri that his memory had become like former skipper Rohit Sharma's, who is known for forgetting things. He laughed, saying: "I have become like Rohit."

It was later confirmed that Arshdeep Singh and Harshit were included in the Playing XI against Oman.

Suryakumar initially failed to recall Arshdeep's name at the toss. Following the coin flip, Suryakumar and Oman's captain Jatinder shared a laugh, shook hands, and embraced each other.

Oman also made two changes, including Mohammed Nadeem in their playing XI. With India already through to the Super Four stage, the contest against Oman was effectively a dead rubber.
