IIT Baba’s India vs Pakistan Prediction Backfires, Internet Flooded with Memes
Summary: IIT Baba, also known as Abhay Singh, predicted India’s loss and Kohli’s failure in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. But after India’s dominant six-wicket win, social media exploded with hilarious memes trolling him.
India’s thrilling victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 not only cemented their dominance but also created an unexpected internet sensation – IIT Baba. Known for his bold and often controversial predictions, IIT Baba, whose real name is Abhay Singh, found himself at the center of a meme storm after his pre-match prophecy went completely wrong.
The Bold Prediction That Backfired
Ahead of the high-voltage clash, IIT Baba confidently declared that India would lose and that Virat Kohli would fail to perform. His assertion was not just a casual remark but delivered with a self-proclaimed prophetic certainty that instantly caught the internet’s attention.
“Main tumko pehle se bol raha hu, is baar India nahi jeetegi. 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 hain ya tum bade ho?”
(Translation: “I am telling you in advance, this time India won’t win. Whoever it is—Virat Kohli, everyone—tell them to win today if they can. Now that I have said they won’t win, they won’t. So what now? Is God greater, or are you greater?”)
However, what unfolded on the cricket field was a stark contrast to his prophecy.
India’s Dominant Victory
Led by a stunning unbeaten century from Virat Kohli (100* off 111 balls), India comfortably chased down Pakistan’s target of 242 runs in just 42.3 overs, securing a six-wicket win in Dubai. Kohli, proving his class once again, silenced doubters with his masterclass innings, while Shreyas Iyer’s crucial half-century (67 off 74 balls) kept India on track.
The Indian bowling unit also played a crucial role. Hardik Pandya dismissed key players Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel, while Kuldeep Yadav reached the milestone of 300 international wickets. With this victory, India booked their spot in the semi-finals, maintaining an unbeaten streak in the tournament.
Social Media Explodes: The #IITianBaba Meme Fest
As soon as India sealed the win, social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) were flooded with memes, trolling IIT Baba for his failed prediction. Fans coined the hashtag #IITianBaba, which quickly started trending.
One user shared a clip of his prediction and wrote:
“Guys, we need to catch this #IITianBaba alive and then kick him out of India..” 😂
Another wrote:
“Virat Kohli didn’t just win the match, he personally made sure IIT Baba’s career as a predictor is over!” 🎯
Meme pages on Instagram and Reddit also had a field day, turning his prediction into a viral sensation. From comparisons with Paul the Octopus (the famous football prediction-making octopus) to jokes about his ‘supernatural’ abilities, IIT Baba’s words became a treasure trove of internet humor.
