As cricket fans gear up for the much-awaited India-Pakistan showdown in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, an unexpected prediction has sent shockwaves across social media. Abhey Singh, better known as IIT Baba, declared at the Mahakumbh Mela 2025 that India will not emerge victorious in this high-stakes match.
*IIT Baba’s Prediction*
Speaking with conviction, IIT Baba stated, “Main tumko pehle se bol raha hu, is baar India nahi jeetegi” (I am telling you beforehand, India won’t win this time). When questioned, he remained adamant, adding, “Ab maine mana kar diya hai ke nahi jeetegi to nahi jeetegi, ab kya bhagwaan bade ho ya tum bade ho?” (Now that I’ve said India won’t win, it won’t happen. Are you bigger than God?).
IIT Baba’s prediction went viral after UNIBIT Games shared a video of his statement on Instagram. The clip has already amassed over 16 million views, triggering a flood of reactions. Some fans dismissed his words as absurd, while others engaged in sarcastic humour. One user joked, “Zada padhai karna bhi khatarnaak hota hai” (Too much study is also dangerous). Another commented, “He believes in karma, we believe in Sharma.” A third mocked his speech, saying, “Bro’s helping verb is ehehehehe.”
*Who is IIT Baba?*
Abhey Singh was once an aerospace engineer with a degree from IIT Bombay. He had a high-paying job in Canada but chose to renounce his career and embrace a spiritual path. His unconventional journey turned him into a viral internet sensation. However, his rise has not been without controversy. He was expelled from the Juna Akhara for alleged misconduct and was later seen at the Maha Kumbh Mela.
This isn’t the first time IIT Baba has made audacious statements about cricket. In 2024, he claimed that he had played a role in India’s T20 World Cup victory. According to him, he “guided” Rohit Sharma to have faith in Hardik Pandya through an invisible network, sending signals via devices, towers, and cameras.
*India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy 2025 Match*
With the match just days away, the cricketing world remains divided. Is IIT Baba merely stirring controversy, or does he truly believe in his prophecy? Fans will find out on February 23 when India and Pakistan face off in what promises to be an electrifying encounter.
As the cricketing world eagerly awaits the outcome, the India vs Pakistan match is set to be a thrilling spectacle, with both teams vying for victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
