Back in 2019, I predicted the outcomes of both Cricket World Cup semifinals and the final match with pinpoint accuracy—right on my YouTube channel. Not just those three; I managed to predict the rest of the tournament’s results with around 70% precision.
Here are the links, in case you’re curious:
• England vs New Zealand – Final
• Australia vs England – Semifinal
• India vs New Zealand – Semifinal
But after that, I stopped. Not because the predictions failed, but because the game behind the game started becoming clearer. Here’s why I stepped away:
⸻
1. Where There’s Money, There’s Manipulation
Cricket is no longer just a sport. It’s a multi-billion-dollar ecosystem, and where there’s money, there’s bound to be corruption. That’s just a universal truth.
When important matches are played, the results are often anything but organic. Too many variables are involved, not all of them astrological. Fixing, spot-fixing, betting syndicates—these interfere with the natural course of the game, making precise predictions an illusion. As an astrologer, I’m not interested in reading manipulated outcomes.

2. Midnight Calls and Betting Karma
I’ve never shared my phone number publicly—not even with friends or clients. But after those 2019 predictions, I began receiving hundreds of calls. People from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the UAE started calling me through Facebook Messenger at all hours.
At first, I was baffled. Why would strangers want to talk to me so urgently? Then I understood—many of them were placing bets based on my predictions, hoping for easy money.
The moment astrology becomes a betting tool, it’s no longer sacred. And for me, aiding gambling—even unintentionally—feels like collecting bad karma. I had to step back.

3. IPL Is Not a Sport, It’s a Show
I’ve never predicted IPL matches and never will. Why? Because IPL is not sport—it’s pure entertainment.
Let me explain: If I own CSK and decide to bet big on RCB, I could very well instruct my team to lose. The players? They don’t hail from Chennai. Their loyalty is to the franchise owner, not the fans or the city. In a world where players are auctioned like commodities, why pretend this is pure sport?
This level of orchestration makes any form of astrological prediction laughably futile.

4. Mundane Predictions Don’t Matter
In astrology, “mundane” refers to predictions about world events—elections, disasters, sports, and such. But here’s the truth: they have zero impact on my actual practice.
Loyal clients aren’t swayed by a correct cricket prediction. The general public, on the other hand, treats such forecasts as either sensational trivia or meme material. It’s temporary awe, followed by either forgetfulness or mockery.
I still publish occasional mundane forecasts on my website—not for attention, but for fun. A game of wit—me versus my past self.

Signing Off
So yes, I could predict cricket matches again—but I choose not to.
Because the game has changed. And so have I.
God bless everyone still in the arena—whether you’re playing, betting, or watching. As for me, I’ll be on the sidelines, observing, detached, and at peace.
