In sports, we have the term "[***Commentator's curse***][1]" > *(humorous)* The supposed propensity of a player to blunder after having his/her talents pointed out by the commentator. [Wiktionary] [1]: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/commentator's_curse ***Is there a phrase that emphasizes that the sportsperson performed brilliantly soon after the commentator's talk highly about their achievements?*** For instance, >a Cricket player hitting a six immediately after the commentator says that he has the highest number of sixes for his team. Or >a Football (Soccer) player scoring from way outside the D-box just when the commentator says that the player had scored from a similar distance in the previous game. It might be termed as "*pure co-incidence*" but I'm just looking for something humorous/ emphatic as "commentator's curse" itself.
