The Indian Street Premier League started on January 9; however, the toss method created a craze on social media. Well, it is not the conventional toss method that is followed in cricket—spinning the coin while one chooses a head or a tail. In the ISPL, fans spotted where captains literally walk towards each other to decide the winner. A video of the toss between the Tiigers of Kolkata and the Chennai Singams went viral. The match referee holds the mic, announcing the "Tip... Top... Tip... Top..." as the captains walked forward on beats. The Kolkata captain was following the "Tip" beat while the Chennai skipper was following the "top." Meanwhile, the boots of both captains came near when the Kolkata captain put the boot on the Chennai captain as the former won the toss.
