Drake may have just cursed India in the T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan

Drake may have just cast his infamous "curse" on India for the highly-anticipated T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan.

The Canadian rapper and avid gambler has placed a hefty $650,000 bet on the outcome of the match, set to take place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday, June 9.

India and Pakistan, both part of Group A alongside co-hosts U.S.A., Canada, and Ireland, have already had an eventful start to their T20 World Cup campaigns. India secured a victory against Ireland, while Pakistan experienced a surprising defeat in a Super Over against the U.S.A.

As excitement builds around this high-stakes match, Drake's bet has become a major talking point. The five-time Grammy Award winner has wagered on India to win, including the possibility of a Super Over, with a potential payout of $910,000 if his prediction comes true. Drake shared a screenshot of his bet on his Instagram story, drawing widespread attention.

This is not the first time Drake's gambling habits have made headlines. Recently, he placed a bet on the Dallas Mavericks to win the 2024 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Despite his confidence, the Mavericks suffered a heavy loss in Game 1, fueling speculation about the so-called "Drake curse"—a pattern where teams he supports often face unexpected defeats.

Drake's latest wager has sparked a range of reactions on social media, with some fans expressing disbelief at his involvement in a cricket match, while others praised his decision to back Team India. The "Drake Curse" narrative looms large, as fans debate whether his bet will bring good fortune or doom to the Indian cricket team.

In addition to his bet on the India-Pakistan match, Drake recently placed $500,000 bets on the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA Finals and the Edmonton Oilers for the Stanley Cup Finals, further showcasing his high-stakes gambling tendencies. As the cricket world waits in anticipation, only time will tell if the "Drake Curse" strikes again.
