Before the final of T20 World Cup 2026 between India and New Zealand, two former cricketers of India and Pakistan have come face to face. A war of words is being seen on social media between the two players. Now Aamir has responded to a statement by Kaif and he has made derogatory remarks on Kaif. Besides, Sourav Ganguly has also been dragged into this matter. Let us know what is the whole matter…
What is the whole matter?
The latest controversy started when Mohammad Kaif questioned Aamir’s comments on Abhishek Sharma, saying that he makes statements about India just to remain in the headlines. Aamir got angry with this statement of Kaif and he responded to it on social media. On this, Aamir clarified that he does not need to comment on India to remain in the news. He says that he expresses his opinion on issues related to cricket and there is nothing wrong in it. In fact, since the beginning of the T20 World Cup, Aamir has been continuously sharing his opinions and predictions regarding the performance and prospects of the Indian team. Although, he has always been saying that the Indian team is out of the next stage, but Team India has always made a place in the next stage by proving this hypocrite Baba wrong.
Aamir’s bigotry
Attacking Kaif in his latest statement, Aamir said on his YouTube channel, ‘I do not know about Kaif’s cricketing career. I don’t know how much he has played. I have checked his stats. He played only 29 matches in IPL. His strike rate is 103. He said that I am making all these statements to draw the attention of India and its people. The first thing is that I do not need to attract attention by speaking about India. Mr. Kaif, I have played 350 T20s, you can check my stats. After this Aamir made derogatory remarks about Kaif. Aamir raised questions on his international career. Aamir said, ‘I did not play cricket just on the basis of fielding. I have played only when I have given a performance. You say thank you to Dada (Sourav Ganguly). I heard that you played cricket only on the basis of fielding. You are a cricketer. Such statements do not suit you.
Comparison of Aamir and Kaif
However, perhaps Aamir has forgotten that Kaif has hit sixes of many good bowlers in international cricket. India also won the 2002 NatWest Series on the strength of him and Yuvi. And on the basis of T20, they should know that there was no T20 cricket for half of Kaif’s career. At the same time, by the time Aamir came into cricket, T20 cricket had already started. Kaif’s international debut was in 2000, while Aamir made his international debut in 2009. So Aamir’s statement regarding T20 is beyond comprehension. Also, with what mouth is Aamir raising questions on Kaif’s international career? Aamir has played only 36 Tests and 61 ODIs in his international career. If we add these together, there are 97 international matches. At the same time, Kaif played 13 Tests and 125 ODIs for India, which is a total of 138 international matches. Yes, Aamir has definitely played 62 T20 Internationals, but Kaif has not played even one. Aamir should also know that he has also been accused of match fixing.
Kaif responded to Aamir’s taunt
During the T20 World Cup, Aamir has been continuously raising questions on Abhishek Sharma’s batting style. He even called the Indian opener a slugger and a one-dimensional batsman. Actually, Abhishek is still in search of his best form, but Aamir many times made fun of his aggressive style on social media. This also caused resentment among the Indian fans. Kaif had shown Aamir a mirror. After Aamir’s continuous comments, Mohammad Kaif reminded him of his own old performance. He specifically mentioned the 2024 T20 World Cup, where Pakistan had to face defeat against America. Kaif said, ‘The same bowler was responsible for the defeat against America in 2024. He gave only one boundary in that over, but bowled very wide balls. His balls were not even hitting the stumps. Who was scared against that American team and made his team lose the match? I don’t need to say much.
Questions raised on Pakistan cricket also
Kaif did not stop here. He also made a sharp comment on the current situation of Pakistan cricket. He said, ‘Why are we talking about that? His country is far behind in sports. They don’t have players, no strong captain, no strong bowlers. Leave them like that. We don’t need to answer for everything. They can’t come to our level. They have their own problems. If we pay attention to what they say, it will be giving them importance and this is what they want.
