Ravi Shastri is known for his high-octane speeches while conducting the toss. On Thursday, April 23, he conducted the toss for the Mumbai Indians' (MI) clash against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium. However, towards the end of his introductory speech, he momentarily forgot the name of the Super Kings' skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad.

After a brief pause, Shastri did mention Gaikwad's name. Mumbai Indians' captain Hardik Pandya and Ruturaj both had smiles on their faces seeing a rare blip from the former India head coach.
