Are india most unluckiest team when it comes to winning toss?

The County Championship tried a system for a while where the away team could opt to bowl if they wanted to, but if they wanted to bat then it went to a toss. It was supposed to try and prevent green tops finishing in 2 days. Lasted about 2 years and didn't have much impact.

I like the idea of away wins being incredibly hard to come by tbh, but there’s always a balance required otherwise it’s like the last few Ashes in Australia which were kinda awful as a viewer with the exception of Johnson.

Not saying England winning those tosses by default would’ve helped but just an example of games being too one sided.

I've always liked the idea of the away team choosing whether to bat or bowl first. I can see a few issues, but tossing a coin to determine a major advantage is a bit of a joke. We're so used to it that we forget how terrible it is, almost anything would be an improvement.

Do a toss every match to decide whether the official toss should happen or not.

This way in order for the home team to win the toss, two tosses have to go right for them.

Home team toss win probability = 25%
Away team toss win probability = 75%
