What did IIT Baba say?
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), IIT Baba predicted, "Main tumko pehle se bol raha hoon, is baar India nahi jeetegi." (I am telling you in advance, that this time India will not win.)
He added, "Jo Jo hain, Virat Kohli...sabko bol do ki aaj jitke dikhaye. Ab maine mana kar diya hai ke nahi jeetegi to nahi jeetegi, ab kya bhagwaan bade ho ya tum bade ho" (Whoever is there, Virat Kohli...tell them to win today. Now that I've said India won't win, it won't happen. Are you bigger than God now?).
Netizens did not like his prediction, and they slammed him and labelled him a panauti (a jinx).
Who is IIT Baba?
IIT Baba's real name is Abhey Singh. Once an aerospace engineer with a degree from IIT Bombay, he had a high-paying job in Canada but left his career behind to embrace a spiritual path.
