The entire social media flourished with the news with hundreds of reels being viraled there only concerned about the cricket tournament. One reel showing Rohit Sharma eating sand of Barbados pitch got vialed there. Hilariously people started to please Prafull Billore because of his Instagram posts. 

It all began innocently when Billore shared a selfie of cricket player Suryakumar Yadav on social media. Unknowingly, this sparked a wave of online jokes calling Billore the infamous “panautiThe ,” or unlucky, following Yadav’s disappointing league performance. Billore accepted this designation and gave the mocking a lighthearted twist by photoshopping himself into pictures of South African cricket players, refusing to run from the spotlight.
