India to win the 2016 ICC U19 World Cup

Tomorrow is a very important date in the calendar for cricket fans as the India U19 meets West Indies U19 in the summit clash of the 2016 Under-19 World Cup at Mirpur. The final is dubbed as the repeat of the 1983 World Cup final which was the last time teams from both the cricket crazy nations met each other in the finals of a major tournament. The ‘Kapil’s Devils’, who were the eventually champions, were the underdogs that time but 33 years later scenarios have changed a lot. The unbeaten Indian side is certainly favorites to win the coveted trophy.

And, it seems that stars are also in favor of the Indian colts as they find themselves in a position of strength astrologically too. Out of the horoscopes of the two captains – Ishan Kishan and Shimron Hetmyer, the former has the stars and planets placed in the right positions.

Ishan has Pluto in its own house, Planet-X (Asteroid 2007 RH 283) in exaltation (Exaltation is a point where a planet reaches its strongest position) and Planet-Y (Asteroid 1999 JV127) in its own house too. Besides he also has Venus and Mars in conjunction (in the same zodiac sign) which is a fantastic combination for any sports achiever. Ishan’s teammates including Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan, Armaan Jaffer, Washington Sundar too have good enough horoscopes to win the World Cup, with Sarfaraz Khan having a big chance to be the player of the tournament.

On the other hand, Shimron Hetmyer, the West Indian captain doesn’t have the required planetary positions to win the World Cup. He just has Pluto and Planet-Y in their own houses while the West Indian coach Graeme West was born under the inauspicious Amavasya (Moonless night), which would mar his efforts to guide his team to glory.

In all, it can be concluded that most astrological factors act in favor of India lifting the Under-19 World Cup title for the fourth time.

The good news doesn’t end here as this team is expected to see at least 5 players who would go on to play for India and a couple of them would even become legendary cricketers!
