India’s victory in the T20 World Cup 2026 created celebrations across the cricket world, but former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir’s statement on India winning the T20 World Cup 2026 quickly caught the attention of fans online.
While Amir did congratulate Team India, his calm and emotionless delivery during a discussion show became a talking point on social media. Many viewers felt his tone sounded sarcastic, which led to heavy trolling and debate among cricket fans.
Amir said simply, “Well done India, the trophy is going to their home.”
However, the way the message was delivered made the moment viral.
“The Trophy Will Go to Their Home, Not Mine”
During the show, Amir was asked whether his prediction about India had gone wrong after their title victory. Responding to the question, he maintained a straight expression and gave a blunt answer.
He said that India had won the tournament and would naturally take the trophy home.
At the same time, he added a remark that immediately went viral among viewers.
According to Amir, India would take the trophy to their own home, not to his house. The statement was delivered in a dry tone, which many fans interpreted as a sarcastic reaction.

Because of this moment, clips from the show began circulating widely on social media platforms.
Earlier Predictions Against India Backfired
During the T20 World Cup campaign, Amir had made several predictions about India that did not go as expected.
One of his major claims was that India would not reach the semi-finals of the tournament. However, the Indian team not only reached the knockout stage but eventually lifted the trophy with a dominant performance in the final.
Another prediction involved Abhishek Sharma, whom Amir described as mainly a slogging batter. In the final match, Abhishek played a crucial innings of 52 runs off just 21 balls, which played an important role in India’s victory.
These incorrect predictions became one of the reasons why Amir faced trolling from fans throughout the tournament.
Amir Still Gave Credit to Team India
Despite the criticism and trolling, Amir did acknowledge India’s performance during the tournament.
He praised the Indian team’s top-order batting and said the game turned in India’s favor early because of their aggressive start. According to him, the top three Indian batters dominated the match, which took control of the game away from New Zealand.
He also specifically appreciated Abhishek Sharma’s batting, calling it an excellent performance in a high-pressure match.
Amir made it clear that India deserved credit for the way they played and managed the final.
