A Strange ‘Prediction’ by a Rohit Sharma Fan about the Mumbai Indians’ batter failing on his birthday is Not a Coincidence
Out of 253 games played in the IPL, Rohit Sharma has played in almost five matches on his birthday. It’s interesting to note that he has never really had a very strong performance on April 30, suggesting that it may be a bit of a rough day for him. Therefore, it seemed more like pattern recognition than a wild prediction when a fan confidently projected a low score for him before to the MI vs. LSG match.
Around 11 a.m., a user using by the handle @Jaffa25_ made the amusing suggestion to “Bet your house on a Rohit 4(5) today.” This resulted from a run of somewhat low birthday scores that Rohit had accumulated over the years:
1(5) in contrast to SRH (2014)
2(5) in comparison to RR-2022
3(5) in comparison to RR-2023
The usual plot continued when the 48th match of the 2024 Indian Premier League took place. Similar to last year, the Hitman entered the field, but his time there was short-lived as he scored only 4 off 5 balls. Without warning, the fan’s prediction went viral on social media and became the talk of the town.
“Guy, tell me about my future,” a user on “X” joked. Another person said, “Bhai, Covishield se koi khatra nahi hai na ab mujhe?.” “It’s an unbelievable forecast,” the third person said.
Similar to when he was dismissed in the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Rohit was dismissed after trying to cover drive LSG’s Mohsin Khan, only to give Marcus Stoinis an easy catch.
Ultimately, the Lucknow Super Giants prevailed, winning a low-scoring match by four wickets. With the help of Stoinis’ tenacious 62 off 45 balls, LSG managed to chase down the 145-run mark in 19.2 overs. In a nail-biting finish, Nicholas Pooran completed the transaction with style and led his side to victory. Nehal Wadhera’s 46 and Tim David’s undefeated 32, on the other hand, offered some opposition to MI, but not enough to stop LSG’s relentless bowling assault. With two significant wickets, Mohsin Khan led the way as the bowlers from LSG combined to keep Mumbai Indians on the defensive.
