A Pakistani TV debate has sparked controversy after a panellist claimed that India sent 22 Hindu priests to perform "black magic" during a recent cricket match in Dubai. This claim followed Pakistan's defeat to India in the Champions Trophy. India won the match by six wickets, with Virat Kohli scoring his 51st ODI century. The victory secured India's place in the semifinals, while Pakistan's performance drew criticism from fans, who expressed disappointment in their team's skills and efforts. This is not the first instance of such allegations. In the past, Pakistani media has also suggested that "black magic" played a role in their losses to India, including during the ICC World Cup 2023.
