Here is how the epic conversation unfolded:-
Ravi Shastri: I remember one prediction from Mark, India will lose 4-0 when we got all out for 36″.
Mark Waugh: I am not the only one who predicted that (smile)”.
Predictions by commentators in sports are quite common however, it becomes even more special when the plan backfires. Back in 2021 in the Adelaide Test, India underwent a horror show in their second innings. After comfortably scoring 244 runs in the first innings, India was bowled out for just 36 runs, as Australia went on to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Ravi Shastri said “I remember one prediction from Mark, India will lose 4-0 when we got all out for 36”.

After India’s woeful display, former Australia skipper turned commentator made a bold prediction back then when he claimed that Australia will win the Series 4-0. However, much to his dismay, the cricketing gods had other plans laid out in the land of the Down Under.
With Virat Kohli, returning back to India owing to the birth of his daughter, India took matters into their own hand to win the Boxing day Test in Melbourne by 8 wickets to level the series 1-1.
The Sydney Test showcases India’s grit and determination as the match ended in a draw. But the ultimate showdown happened in Brisbane. Touted to be the Fortress, the Gaba curse was broken as Rishabh Pant’s heroics helped India win by 3 wickets to claim a magnificent victory in Australia.
