As India triumphed over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the internet found a new star of the night—but not for the reasons one would expect. IIT Baba, also known as Abhay Singh, became the talk of social media after his bold prediction about India’s defeat spectacularly backfired.
Days before the high-stakes match, IIT Baba confidently declared that India would lose and Virat Kohli would fail. His statement, delivered with absolute certainty, instantly went viral. In his usual dramatic style, he proclaimed, “Ab maine mana kar diya hai ke nahi jeetegi to nahi jeetegi. Ab kya, bhagwaan bade hain ya tum bade ho?” (Now that I have said India won’t win, they won’t. What now? Is God greater, or are you?).
Well, turns out cricket gods had other plans. India not only won but dominated the game, leaving IIT Baba’s prediction in shambles. As soon as the final ball was bowled, netizens wasted no time flooding social media with hilarious memes, trolling his misplaced confidence.
From comparing him to self-proclaimed “football experts” to tagging him as the new ‘reverse jinx’ guru, Twitter was ablaze with reactions. Some fans even jokingly urged him to predict India’s loss in future matches to ensure more victories.
As memes continue to pour in, one thing is clear—IIT Baba might need a new crystal ball before making his next bold cricket prediction.
