Navjot Singh Sidhu took a dig at Mohammad Aamir: The India vs Pakistan controversy never ends, especially in the World Cup. India has increased its lead to 8-1 in the T20 World Cup editions. The latest win came last Sunday, when the Men in Green suffered a humiliating 61-run defeat. Salman Ali Aga’s team had no answer to Ishan Kishan’s batting and India’s bowling attack.
This time a new controversy has arisen outside the field. In a talk show named Hasan Mana Hai, former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir was asked to predict the semi-finalists of the ongoing 2026 T20 World Cup. He predicted that co-hosts India would not qualify for the last four of the tournament. In response to which former Indian opener Navjot Singh Sidhu has given a befitting reply.
Navjot Singh Sidhu shared a reel on his Instagram and said, “The camel may come out of the pit, but no one in the world can stop the victory of the Indian team. India will become world champions in 2026. They have won 90% in the last two years. They have not lost a single series.”

Navjot Singh Sidhu further said, “In South Africa, in Sri Lanka and against Australia, they have dominated so much that it seems as if an elephant is grazing among a bunch of ants. There is no need to provide proof of the strength of this team.”
Navjot Singh Sidhu concluded by saying, “Their performance itself is a strong proof that whether it is the moon or the stars, everything shines. And my friend, I will not even tell you India’s record against Pakistan. You will be ashamed.”
India has not lost any match yet since 2023
India have lost just one match in 27 matches in the last four ICC tournaments since 2023. The last match he played was in the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia, which he lost in the final. Since then, they have yet to lose a single match in a white-ball tournament. This shows his strength in the white ball format of the game.
Even in the T20 World Cup, India is on the winning track for 12 consecutive matches. Suryakumar Yadav’s team is playing cricket fearlessly and the kind of temperament this team has, is the reason why they are the number 1 ranked team in the T20I format.
Will South Africa end India’s 17-match winning streak?
After defeating Pakistan, Surya’s team recorded their 16th consecutive win in the ICC white-ball tournament – the longest by any team in history. Before India, Australia held the record for most consecutive wins (15) between the Champions Trophy 2006 and ODI World Cup 2007. After defeating the Dutch this number has now increased to 17.
The Men in Blue will face South Africa in the Super 8 stage of the game. The two finalists of the previous edition of the T20 World Cup will face each other for the first time in this edition. They are unbeaten so far in the World Cup; However, one team record will be broken tonight at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
