The thrill of a high-stakes cricket match – it’s a feeling like no other, and the recent India vs. Pakistan game was no exception. India emerged victorious, defeating Pakistan by 6 wickets, a result that left many stunned, including IIT Baba, who had predicted a Pakistani win. His bold claim, made before the match, had gone viral, but ultimately proved to be way off the mark.
In a live stream, IIT Baba had stated, “No matter how much you put, this time Pakistan will win. India will not win this time. Virat Kohli should put the heel of the peak, but will not win.” His confidence was striking, and many had taken notice of his prediction. However, as the match unfolded, it became clear that India was the stronger team, and Pakistan struggled to keep up.
The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, had a relatively easy time, chasing a target of 242 and scoring an unbeaten 100 runs. This milestone marked Rohit Sharma’s 82nd international and 51st ODI centuries, a testament to his exceptional skills. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya took 2 important wickets, including Babur, and Kuldeep Yadav took the most wickets with 3. Saud Shakeel scored the most runs for Pakistan with 62.
When asked about his incorrect prediction after the match, IIT Baba had a surprising response. He essentially flipped the script, saying, “The message is not to believe anyone’s prediction. Use your own mind.” It was a humble acknowledgement that even the most confident predictions can go awry.
As the news of IIT Baba’s failed prediction spread, social media was filled with reactions, including a tweet from @KollyTard, who shared a clip of IIT Baba’s reaction, saying “IIT baba reaction on his failed prediction on Virat Kohli and Ind-Pak”. The tweet quickly gained traction, with many weighing in on the prediction and the match.
In the end, it was a thrilling game that kept fans on the edge of their seats, and a timely reminder that, no matter how confident we may be in our predictions, the outcome is never certain until the final whistle blows.
