After India’s humiliating 76-run defeat against South Africa t20 world cup 2026 super 8 Clash, a Pakistani television channel, has dubbed former fast bowler Mohammad Amir an “astrologer” for his highly accurate predictions about the downfall of the Indian team. The light-hearted but candid celebration on the popular show ‘Harna Mana Hai’ has since gone viral, adding a touch of cross-border fun to an otherwise serious evening for Indian cricket.
“What have you made of me?”: Mohammad Aamir’s reaction goes viral
The moment came during a segment of Geo News’ ‘Harna Mana Hai’ program, where Aamir serves as a panelist along with former Pakistan cricketers Rashid Latif and Ahmed Shehzad. As the discussion began on India’s shocking defeat at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the host introduced Aamir with a funny twist.
“What our Pakistani team is not able to do, our panelists are doing sitting in a studio in Lahore. Mohammad Amir first called Abhishek Sharma lazy and since then Abhishek has been struggling for form in the tournament. Then he said that India will not reach the semi-finals, and it seems India is listening to what Aamir has said. Let’s welcome astrologer, cricketer and left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Amir.” The host announced.
This unexpected introduction shocked Aamir. Laughing uncontrollably, the former fast bowler replied, “What have I done? May Allah forgive me.” The exchange quickly spread across social media platforms, with fans enjoying the playful banter.
Aamir’s prediction came true!
Amir’s predicament stems from two specific comments he made in the lead-up to the Super 8 stage. During the previous episode of ‘Harna Mana Hai’, the former fast bowler had candidly assessed the weaknesses of India’s batting.
First of all he termed Indian opener Abhishek Sharma as ‘A’ “Slogger,” Raising questions about his technical soundness against quality bowling. “From what I have seen, if you ask me honestly, I think he is just a slugger. He has to work hard on every ball. On days when he gets going, it is fine; otherwise, his chances of failure are high. He scores once in 8 innings. Otherwise, his scores are 10, 15, 0 and 20. I don’t think he is technically good.” Aamir had said.
The assessment proved to be extremely accurate. After three consecutive ducks against the United States, Pakistan and the Netherlands, Abhishek managed just 15 runs in 12 balls against South Africa and fell to a knuckle ball from Marco Johnson – Corbin Bosch took a brilliant catch after a collision with Keshav Maharaj..
Second, Amir predicted that India would not reach the semi-finals, instead favoring South Africa and the West Indies to advance from Group 1. “Barring the Pakistan match, the Indian batting order collapsed in every game. The way South Africa and West Indies are playing, they can beat any team. He had said.
