'India cannot defeat Pakistan in Champions Trophy 2025 clash,' says Kumbh Mela priest

A surprising claim has emerged ahead of the much-anticipated India-Pakistan cricket match in the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The high-stakes match is set to take place in Dubai on February 23, drawing massive attention from cricket fans worldwide.

However, Baba Abhay Singh’s latest statement has sparked heated debate on social media.

In a viral video circulating on Indian media, Baba Abhay Singh can be heard confidently stating:

"Even if Virat Kohli and the entire Indian squad give their best effort, Pakistan will still win. I have said it, and that’s final."
