English all-rounder Jofra Archer is widely regarded as the ‘God’ in the cricketing circuit. That’s not because of his performances on the field, but something more significant off it.  Archer has a tweet for almost every highlight on the cricket field. You name it and Jofra Archer has already tweeted about it. Today, a similar incident took place with former Indian cricketer and analyst, Aakash Chopra.

On Monday, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) took on Mumbai Indians (MI) on Matchday 10 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020). It is always one of the grandest contests to watch in the IPL as they are two of the grandest teams in the cash-rich league. On Monday, Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to field first.

Aakash Chopra Is The New Jofra Archer In Town As He Predicts Aaron Finch’s and Virat Kohli’s Wicket And Both Depart Within Minutes

Aaron Finch and Devdutt Padikkal opened the innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore and gave a fiery start to the hosts as they were flying at the end of the powerplay and the RCB openers scored 59 runs for no wickets in the powerplay, which is by far the highest score in the powerplay in Dubai this year.

However, veteran cricket analyst, Aakash Chopra, took to Twitter at the end of the powerplay and wrote, Wicket time….8-10 balls max? #RCBvMI #IPL2020

Watch the tweet here:

To much surprise, Aaron Finch, the man in red hot form in the game, was dismissed within five minutes of this Tweet and Twitterati couldn’t believe it. However, the fun didn’t end here as Aakash Chopra came up with another tweet, and this time too, he was absolutely right.

Quoting his last tweet Aakash Chopra wrote, “Finch dismissed. One more to follow soon. Another 10-12 balls max. AB walking in soon.”

Watch the Tweet here:

Aakash Chopra was absolutely spot on once again as the RCB skipper Virat Kohli, departed as soon as the 12 balls were bowled after Finch’s dismissal. This came out of nowhere and people really couldn’t believe as to what they were witnessing. Aakash Chopra proved to be spot on with his prediction not only once, but twice. However, RCB won’t be too pleased with Chopra’s astrology.
