India’s heart-stopping seven-run semi-final victory over England at Wankhede has propelled them to the T20 World Cup 2026 final – and drawn a hilarious roast from Navjot Singh Sidhu aimed at Mohammad Aamir.
Sidhu, never one to mince words, dubbed the ex-Pakistani speedster a ‘fake baba’ for his litany of wrong calls. ‘Habitual guessers pose as babas,’ Sidhu thundered. ‘Successes become legends; failures, footnotes.’
The rap sheet was damning. Aamir had ruled out India from semis, backing West Indies and South Africa. India steamrolled past them both.
His latest gaffe? Picking England over India in the semi. Bumrah’s express delivery and clutch moments flipped the script.
Aamir, to his credit, ate humble pie afterward. ‘This was India’s finest showing,’ he said. ‘Bumrah’s fire separated the teams. Samson’s catch drop was pivotal.’
Sidhu’s tirade resonates in an era of viral hot takes, reminding fans that bold claims demand bold results. It’s classic Sidhu: poetic, pointed, unforgettable.
With the final looming, this off-field fireworks ensures India’s campaign stays in headlines. Cricket’s drama extends beyond the boundary.
