According to assam Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, india lost the cricket world cup final against australia because the game fell on former prime minister Indira Gandhi's birthday.

"We had won all of our games before losing in the finals." When I inquired about why we lost the game, I discovered that the world cup final was held on Indira Gandhi's birthday. "On Indira Gandhi's birthday, we played the world cup finals, and the country failed," he remarked. Taking a shot at the Gandhis, the bjp Chief minister said, "I have a request from BCCI." Please, india, do not play on the day when gandhi family members celebrate their birthdays. "I learned this during the world cup final."


The loss of india in the ICC Men's cricket world cup on february 19 took a political turn as congress leader rahul gandhi referred to prime minister Narendra Modi as a 'panauti' and said that Modi's arrival into the stadium caused india to lose the match. PM Modi attended the finals in the ahmedabad stadium named after him, along with Union home minister amit shah and others. Since India's loss, the phrase 'panauti' has been trending on the internet.

The bjp filed a complaint with the election commission on wednesday against rahul gandhi over statements he made during a campaign event in Rajasthan.
