Watch: IIT Baba Apologizes After Failed Prediction as India Crushes Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2025

India registered a record-breaking win against Pakistan on Sunday (February 23) in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Before this India vs Pakistan matches a few days ago, the popular IIT Baba of Maha Kumbh 2025 had predicted that India would lose, leaving the whole social media amazed. But following yesterday's game, his forecast was rendered worthless as India won. After this debacle, he has apologized for his X comments, which have attracted much attention from the internet.

He had earlier said, "Main tumko pehle se bol raha hu, is baar India nahi jeetegi. Jo jo hain, Viral Kohli. sabko bol do ki aaj jitke dikhaye. Ab maine mana kar diya hai ke nahi jeetegi to nahi jeetegi. Ab kya, bhagwaan bade hain ya tum bade ho? (I've been telling you from the start, this time India won't win. Tell everyone, including Viral Kohli, that they have to win today if they can. Now that I've said they won't win, they just won't. So what now? Is God greater, or are you?)"
But after India's victory over Pakistan, the internet vehemently condemned IIT Baba of Maha Kumbh for his unfounded predictions, and social media was abuzz with criticism. After receiving immense trolling, the IIT Baba who went viral made a post on X apologizing for his prophecy. He also made posts with photographs of Virat Kohli and Team India celebrating their victory. In the post, he wrote, "I want to apologize and request each of you to celebrate publicly, it's party time. Mujhe man hi man pata tha ki India jeetega."
