“What have you made me of?”: Mohammad Amir’s response goes viral
The moment came during a segment of Geo News’ ‘Haarna Mana Hai’ programme, in which Amir serves as a panelist alongside former Pakistani cricketers Rashid Latif and Ahmed Shehzad. As the discussions focused on India’s shocking defeat at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the host introduced Amir with a hilarious twist.
“The things our Pakistan team is not capable of, our panelists are doing while sitting in a studio in Lahore. Mohammad Amir first called Abhishek Sharma a slogger, and since then Abhishek has been struggling for form in the tournament. He then said that India will not reach the semi-finals, and it seems India is listening to what Amir has said. Let’s welcome astrologer, cricketer and left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir,” the host stated.
The unexpected introduction left Amir in a split. Laughing uncontrollably, the former pacer replied: “What have you turned me into? May God forgive you.” The exchange quickly spread across social media platforms, with fans enjoying the playful banter.

Amir’s predictions that came true
Amir’s prophetic status stems from two specific comments he made in the build-up to the Super 8 stage. During previous episodes of ‘Haarna Mana Hai’, the former pacer had been unequivocal in his assessment of the Indian batting vulnerabilities.
First, he labeled Indian opener Abhishek Sharma as one “sloppy,” he questioned his technical soundness against quality bowling. “From what little I’ve seen, if you ask me honestly, I feel like he’s just a slogger. He has to go hard on every ball. The day he gets going, he’s fine; otherwise, the chances of failure are kekansen zyaada hain (the chances of his failure are high). He scores once in 8 innings. Otherwise, his scores are 10, 15, 0 and 20. I don’t think he’s technically sound,” Amir had stated.
The assessment turned out to be devastatingly accurate. After registering three consecutive ducks against USA, Pakistan and Netherlands, Abhishek managed just 15 off 12 balls against South Africa before falling to Marco Jansen’s knuckleball – brilliantly captured by Corbin Bosch after colliding with Keshav Maharaj.
Secondly, Amir predicted that India would not reach the semi-finals, and backed South Africa and West Indies to progress from Group 1. “With the exception of the match against Pakistan, the Indian batting line-up collapsed in every match. The way South Africa and West Indies play, they can beat any team. he had said.
