Mohammad Amir doubles down on tirade, once again says India won't reach T20 World Cup semis: ‘Mera kya lena dena?’

Ever since the T20 World Cup began, Amir has become a punching bag of sorts on X (formerly Twitter) for his statements against Indian players. Earlier, Amir had also labelled Abhishek Sharma as just a slogger.

During his latest appearance on the ‘Haarna Mana Hai’ show, the anchor grilled Amir about his latest statements against both Abhishek and the Indian cricket team; however, the pacer remained firm on his stance, once again saying that Suryakumar's side wouldn't reach the semi-finals.

“Whether you like my opinion or hate my opinion, that is up to you. Do you want me to forcefully say that India will reach the final? Pahunche ya na pahunche final main, mera kya lena dena usse? (How do I care if they make it or don't make it?). I just think West Indies and South Africa will reach the semi-finals as they are playing complete cricket,” he added.

“If India makes it to the finals, then well and good. Mujhe kya? (How do I care),” said Amir.

Speaking of India, the side remained undefeated in the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2026 after beating the USA, Namibia, Pakistan and the Netherlands. India are in Group 1 for the Super 8s alongside South Africa, the West Indies and Zimbabwe.

India is yet to lose a match in the last three ICC events, and the team has a realistic chance of winning their first title to win the T20 World Cup on home soil and also defend their crown.

After the match against South Africa on Sunday, India will face Zimbabwe and the West Indies on February 26 and March 1, respectively.
