The highly anticipated, much-hyped ODI World Cup of 2023 has burst onto the scene, igniting the passions of cricket fans worldwide. Ten teams are now in the fray, each with their eyes set on the prestigious trophy that will be contested over the next 45 electrifying days. Amidst this cricketing extravaganza, Indian fans are fervently praying for Rohit Sharma and his squad to reclaim an ICC title, a feat last achieved in 2013. The internet is abuzz with predictions, hopes, and well-wishes, but there’s one prediction that’s standing out from the crowd – courtesy of an Indian astrologer with a track record.
In his latest pronouncement, the astrologer, Anirudh Kumar Mishra, took to the micro-blogging site ‘X’ to make a bold statement: “As per my calculations, India is going to win World Cup this time.” Is this prediction for real? Well, Anirudh insists that his past prediction about India’s 2011 World Cup victory was no mere fluke as he explained, “Much before coming to Twitter, I predicted in 2011, about 1.5 months before the final of the Cricket World Cup that India would win the World Cup. Now again, I am being flooded with requests of predicting the winner of the upcoming world cup. Although I have made it clear that I will not be making any predictions for this world cup, due to the sake of so heavy demand, I decided to make an exception and predict the winner of the World Cup.”
Naturally, this post went viral in no time, prompting reactions from all corners. One fan confidently remarked, “Everyone bookmark this we will see this post after World Cup.”
While many showered him with accolades, there were some skeptics who pointed to a less successful prediction about India winning the T20 World Cup in 2021 – a prophecy that didn’t quite pan out as Australia walked away with the trophy.
