India losing 14 successive tosses is a 1 in 16,384 chance. But, had Karun Nair played alongside Kamboj, Jadeja and Bumrah, they would have four players with the same birthday, a 1 in 149,635 chance. Had Shreyas Iyer also played there would be five - a 1 in 39 million chance!

Watch until the end.
You see the epiphany in real-time.
