India has strengthened its chances of making it to the semi-finals by defeating Pakistan by 6 wickets in the Champions Trophy 2025. Pakistan's cricket fans and experts are looking very disappointed with this defeat. Meanwhile, a strange claim is becoming increasingly viral in the Pakistani media. Their panelists say that the Indian team did black magic with the help of 22 Pandits to ensure their victory. There is a lot of discussion about this video on social media and people are taking it as a joke.
Shocking allegation of Pakistani media
In the viral video, a panelist on a Pakistani news channel claimed that India had sent 22 Pandits to the Dubai stadium, who were doing magic on every player of Pakistan. Another person said that the Indian team had sent 7 Pandits to the field a day before the match and got a special puja done. As soon as this claim came to the fore, there was a flood of jokes and memes on social media.
Indian fans' reaction on social media
Indian cricket fans started sharing memes of "team of 22 pundits". An x user quipped, "With 22 pundits from outside and three pundits in the team - Rohit, Hardik and Iyer, Pakistan was sure to lose." Another user wrote, "In the panel discussion of Pakistani media, educated people are giving such arguments that India defeated Pakistan with black magic. This clearly shows how much the defeat has hurt them."

Some social media users say that instead of accepting their defeat, the Pakistan team is calling it the result of black magic. Many people mocked this claim and said that it is ridiculous to link the Indian team's brilliant performance to tantra-mantra.
After this victory of India in the Champions Trophy 2025, now the next goal of Team India will be to capture the trophy.
