The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma who is currently playing for Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL 2024 celebrated his 37th birthday yesterday but he wasn’t able to make his birthday special as he got out early in the match against Lucknow Super Giants and his team also lost the match by 4 wickets.
While the whole world was busy offering birthday wishes to Rohit Sharma, there was one fan who made a prediction regarding the runs that Rohit Sharma would score in yesterday’s match and everyone was shocked when they saw that his prediction was absolutely correct.
Well the X user predicted that Rohit Sharma will score 4 runs on 5 balls and exactly the same thing happened in the match against LSG. However, the prediction was not the result of any astronomical calculation or psychic powers, he just followed the pattern of the last 3 years.
Prior to yesterday’s match, Rohit Sharma had played 4 matches on his birthday. In the match that he played on his first birthday, he scored 17 runs but in the second, third and fourth birthdays, he scored 1,2 and 3 runs respectively and in all the last three matches, he faced 5 deliveries. So the X user followed the pattern and predicted that Rohit Sharma would score 4 (5).
Here is what he tweeted, “Bet your house on a Rohit 4(5) today”.

As far as the match is concerned, it was played at Ekana Sports City, Lucknow and MI could manage to score only 144/7 in their stipulated 20 overs. Nehal Wadhera (46 runs, 41 balls, 4 fours & 2 sixes) was the highest scorer for MI and useful contributions were made by Ishan Kishan (32 runs, 36 balls, 3 fours) and Tim David (35 runs, 18 balls, 3 fours & 1 six). While MI’s star batter Suryakumar Yadav could score only 10 runs, the skipper Hardik Pandya got out for golden duck.
Though LSG also struggled a bit in scoring runs, Marcus Stoinis (62 runs, 45 balls, 7 fours & 2sixes) along with the skipper KL Rahul (28 runs, 22 balls, 3 fours & 1 six) gave a platform to his team to successfully chase the target.
So now you know that the fan’s prediction about Rohit Sharma was nothing special but a calculated analysis.
