Remember Prafull Billore, the man who went viral and was the biggest face of ‘Panauti’ memes during the T20 World Cup 2024, has a message for IITian Baba. Prafull Billore, the founder of MBA Chaiwala, had a tongue in cheek message for the IITian Baba who had predicted India’s defeat in its Champions Trophy clash with Pakistan. Abhay Singh, the aerospace engineer-turned-sadhu who is popularly known as IITian Baba, had said, “Iss Bar India Nahi Jeetegi. Virat Kohli Aur Sabko Bol Do Ki Jeet Ke Dikha Dein. Maine Bola Nahi Jeetegi India Toh Nahi Jeetegi.”
Responding to IITian Baba’s prophecy, Prafull Billore, in a post on Twitter, wrote, “I have resigned recently from my job. It’s All yours now !! Ram ram, Jay Shri Ram #IITianBaba #INDvsPAK #ViratKohli𓃵 #ChampionsTrophy.”

The Indian Cricket’s Famous ‘Panauti’
In June 2024, during the peak of ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Prafull Billore shared a selfie with Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav. The following day, Yadav managed to score only 6 runs in a T20 match against Bangladesh. This coincidence quickly became a widespread joke on social media, with many jesting that Billore’s selfie brought misfortune (“Panauti”) to the cricket team. The image rapidly went viral, propelling Billore into internet fame overnight.
Embracing the humor, fans began creating photoshopped images of Billore alongside various South African players in an attempt to “reverse-jinx” the opposition. The internet buzzed with laughter as he shared amusing pictures with English cricket stars like Jos Buttler and Jofra Archer. This lighthearted banter gained significant attention following India’s impressive 68-run victory over England in the semi-finals, where Billore’s playful antics targeting the English team were widely acknowledged.
