Having got his predictions right about Sachin Tendulkar's comeback from tennis elbow injury, his Bharat Ratna honour, Sourav Ganguly's comeback, India's World Cup triumph in 2011, Bunde says that time has come for Virat Kohli's team to taste success abroad. I can foresee that he will be very much there in the 2019 World Cup," said Bunde. The Indian women's team reached the final of the ICC World Cup last year, and Bunde says skipper Mithali Raj, too, took tips from him. Bunde says the only time he went wrong was during the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies, where India were knocked out in the first round. While Bunde is fairly known among the Indian cricketers, Paul the octopus swept to international attention when it predicted all of Germany's World Cup matches in 2010.
