Abhay Singh, popular as IIT Baba from Mahakumbh Mela, recently caused a stir on social media after his prediction ahead of the highly-anticipated India vs Pakistan cricket match in the Champions Trophy. He predicted that India would lose to Pakistan and that Virat Kohli would not perform well in the match. However, India won against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, with Kohli’s century being the cherry on top.
“Abhi kya message dena chahoge?” (What message do you want to give now?),” the streamers who first aired his prediction asked IIT Baba after India’s victory.
“Hum toh aise khelte hain na. Hum jab khelte hai toh bus hamare liye khelte hai. Kuch message nahi hai.(We play like this only, we play for ourselves. I don’t have any message). Prediction, vediction mein kabhi vishwas nahi karna chahiye, kisi ka mat karo vishwas. Apna dimaag use karo, na kabhi bhi (Don’t believe in predictions, use your brains),” IIT Baba responded.

Reacting to the video, a user on X wrote, “I guess he has made his point…STOP WASTING YOU TIME ON SUCH DAMN PREDICTIONS AND USE YOUR OWN BRAIN.”
Another user commented, “Bro scammed everyone. He is doing this to remain in the limelight.”
Abhay Singh, now widely known as IIT Baba, is a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, where he earned a BTech in aerospace engineering from the 2008-2012 batch.
Born and raised in Haryana, Singh shared about his childhood trauma and tumultuous relationship with his parents when spotted by a reporter at Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
In an interview with Times Now, Singh revealed that he pursued a Master in Design (MDes) and worked as a photographer. However, his life took a spiritual turn as he began questioning the meaning of life and exploring philosophy.
