Superstition and Indian cricket go a long way back. So take a minute, and read the reasons why cricket-crazy Indian fans think Captain Kohli will lift the Champions Trophy this Sunday!
The number of coincidences pointing towards an Indian victory are just too damn high. Maybe, it’s the universe asking us to stay calm and keep faith in the Men in Blue.
C for Champions, C for Coincidence
Note: India’s first match in the 2007 World T20 was against Scotland but it was washed out without a ball being bowled. So the first time India took the field was against Pakistan, just like in this year’s Champions Trophy.

2017: A Repeat of 2013?
MS Dhoni led India to victory in the Champions Trophy final in 2013. It took another four years for the Champions Trophy to make a comeback in international cricket. When it did, India are in the finals yet again.
The captaincy has changed hands. But there’s a lot that is still the same.
Doesn’t EVERYTHING seem to suggest that India’s bound to come out on top in the Champions Trophy final against Pakistan this Sunday?
“Jeetega bhai jeetega, India jeetega!”
