Meanwhile, his recent post caught the internet’s attention, with many praising the business tycoon’s interesting prediction. A user wrote, “Sir were you watching the match or continued your Parampara. Prathista. Anushasan?”

Another commented, “Good prediction sir.”

One of the comments shared joy over Patel’s performance.

Users even urged Mahindra to keep the shades handy till the finale to witness the Indian team lift the trophy.

Mahindra’s post truly resonates with many other cricket fans who believe in the ‘magic’ of lucky charms for their team’s victory. Shared late at night, the tweet has garnered over 1,00,000 views.
