Gandhinagar: Memes have flooded social media after BCCI Secretary Jay Shah’s optimistic predictions for India’s success in cricket this year.  Reflecting on India’s two heartbreaks in 2023—the losses in the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup finals—Shah expressed confidence that 2024 would be India’s year under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy.

In an event after the ODI World Cup he said  “In 2023, India did not win the World Cup after winning 10 matches straight, but we won hearts. But I want to make a promise that in 2024, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India will win the T20 World Cup in Barbados”. This statement sparked a wave of memes on social media, playfully casting Shah as a scriptwriter crafting dramatic cricket narratives.

His Words Became Reality.

Meanwhile, former Indian head coach and cricketer Ravi Shastri gave the title ‘Nostradamus’ to Jay Shah for his prediction.

Well done, @JayShah. Your new name is Jay Nostradamus Shah. You appointed @ImRo45 captain 4 months ago and predicted India will lift the cup today. pic.twitter.com/IJqyCxGpUl
