Astrologer predicts India's World Cup chances based on Kohli and Sharma

Summary

Scientific astrologer Greenstone Lobo has predicted that India will not win the 2027 ODI World Cup if Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are in the playing XI. Kohli, sidelined from the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury, is now focused solely on ODI cricket after retiring from Tests and T20Is. Lobo, while acknowledging Kohli's achievements and fitness, emphasizes that astrological factors could compromise India's success. Kohli was previously instrumental in India's T20 World Cup victory and Champions Trophy win, raising questions about the effect of veteran players on future tournaments.
