Not solely that, he had asserted that former India skipper Virat Kohli might strive his greatest, however the crew would lose, irrespective of how onerous they tried.
And as destiny would have it, India thrashed Pakistan by six wickets. As visuals of the victory from Dubai had been streamed in all places, so was the Baba’s false prophecy. So as to add salt to the wound, Kohli ended up scoring the match-winning century, reinstating his standing as GOAT.

One other posted, “Think before you speak don’t understand estimate Indian cricket team. Now nobody will trust you. #fakebaba”.

The faux-phecy
Granted Baba acquired lots of hate. One might marvel, did his remarks warrant this stage of trolling? Here is what his unique prophecy was:
In his unique prediction throughout a reside stream, IIT Baba mentioned, “Iss baar hum harwa denge unko. Tab toh maanoge. Iss baar main pehle se bol raha hun. Iss baar India nahin jeetegi. Ab tum chaahey Virat Kohli ko aur baaki sabko bol do ki aidi-choti ka zor laga ke jeet ke dikhana tum ab. (This time I will make them lose. Then you will believe me. I have been saying this since before. This time India will not win. Now you can tell Virat Kohli or whoever else that they can try their best, but we’ll see).”
Properly, who’s had the final chuckle? Staff India supporters, that is who!
