Swing and a miss! Mohammad Amir trolled after India seal T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal spot
Amir had confidently claimed that while Pakistan might qualify, India “definitely would not” reach the top four
India have officially secured a berth in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semifinals following a five-wicket victory over the West Indies at Eden Gardens on Sunday. The win, anchored by a masterclass from Sanju Samson, has triggered a massive social media storm directed at former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir.
Chasing a target of 196, India faced early pressure at 41/2 before Sanju Samson delivered a career-defining performance. Samson remained unbeaten on 97 off 50 balls, smashing 12 boundaries and four sixes to guide India home with four balls to spare. This victory stands as India’s highest successful chase in T20 World Cup history and the largest T20I run chase ever recorded at the iconic Kolkata venue.
The qualification has left Mohammad Amir facing intense online scrutiny. Earlier in the tournament, Amir had confidently claimed on the show “Haarna Mana Hai” that while Pakistan might qualify, India “definitely would not” reach the top four. Within minutes of India’s victory, fans resurfaced the clip, flooding social platforms with memes and sarcastic posts. Critics noted that Amir’s dismissal of India’s “weak bowling” was dismantled by a team that showed immense nerve under pressure.

🚨 MOHAMMAD AMIR STARTED CRYING 🗣️
Amir said - "It was clearly a fixed match from the first ball. The West Indies should have scored 240 runs, but they batted slowly just to ensure that India would get a target under 200. Well paid, BCCI." 😂#INDvsWI pic.twitter.com/B9LiJwlsPg
