After Team India defeated Pakistan by 61 runs in Colombo, Baba Bageshwar, also known as Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, made a strong statement that has gone viral on social media.

“I Said We Would Win When the First Wicket Fell at 12”

Addressing devotees during his Katha, Baba Bageshwar recalled the tense moments early in the match. He said that when India lost its first wicket at just 12 runs, many people approached him with concern.

“They asked me, ‘Guruji, what will happen now?’ I told them not to worry. God’s blessings are with India. Our players are strong, and India will win,” he said.

Sharp Dig at Pakistan After Defeat

His statement drew loud applause and cheers from the gathering.
