Mohammed Amir: India has qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2026 after defeating the West Indies by five wickets on March 1st at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. India chased down a difficult target of 196 runs, and Sanju Samson provided the match-winning performance with an extraordinary late run celebration, finishing with 97 from 50 balls.

Following the match win, Indian fans were rejoicing in celebration while former Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir was trolling like crazy due to his outrageous predictions.
Amir’s Bold Prediction Falls Flat
Before India’s crucial Super 8 clash, Amir had repeatedly claimed that India would not reach the semi-finals. Speaking on shows like Haarna Mana Hai, he famously said, “Pakistan kare na kare, India naaaa,” suggesting India would fall short regardless of Pakistan’s fate.
He doubled down on his comments ahead of the West Indies match, arguing that India could not defeat stronger sides such as South Africa or the West Indies. Amir also questioned India’s chasing strength without retired stars and labelled opener Abhishek Sharma a “slogger.”
However, India responded strongly on the field. After an earlier setback against South Africa, the team bounced back with commanding wins over Zimbabwe and the West Indies, directly contradicting Amir’s claims.
Social Media Erupts After India’s Win
Mohammed Amir: Soon after the final ball was hit, Indian fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with memes, video clips, and sarcastic posts targeting Amir’s predictions. Many users mockingly referred to him as a “soothsayer,” highlighting how his forecasts backfired.
Headlines across sports platforms described the moment as a “reality check” for the former pacer. Interestingly, even some Pakistani analysts had earlier disagreed with Amir’s assessment before the tournament began.
As India marches into the semi-finals with momentum, Samson’s heroic knock has not only powered the team forward but also delivered a fitting response to their critics.
