India T20 World Cup triumph: While Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Amir continue to persist in their scepticism towards India's back-to-back T20 World Cup triumph, many Pakistan cricketers have contrastingly displayed admiration for their arch-rival, stating that others should stop conspiracy theories and accept Men in Blue’s white-ball dominance.
In the T20 World Cup final on Sunday, India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs to defend their crown. This historic win, India's third T20 World Cup title, highlights their supremacy in the format, leaving many to ponder the team's next move.
Many former Pakistan cricketers urged their cricket community to shed conspiracy theories and accept India's white-ball dominance.

Former Test captain and batting great Javed Miandad acknowledged India's amazing campaign, attributing their title triumph to their capacity to post imposing totals, including 250-plus in the semi-final and final.
"Their team (India) is now reaping the benefits of a strong process-driven cricket structure," Miandad said as quoted by PTI.
"If you look at the talent they are producing now, it is because of their strong structure. They are not short on batters, spinners or fast bowlers and their young players are result-driven and have game awareness," he added.
The former great stated that when there is a winning culture and psyche established in a team's dressing room, it always leads to title wins.
"We had this environment in our dressing room once, and we won frequently," he said.
Former Test batsman and chief selector Muhammad Wasim's candid observation struck a chord, stressing that Pakistan's progress hinges on acknowledging India's team strength.
"We generally try to find faults and float conspiracy theories whenever we lose to India or they do well in big events. We need to stop that and accept their team is a top side and we must try to improve ourselves by learning from our mistakes," Wasim said.
Former head coach Mohsin Khan attributed India's victory to their focus on red-ball cricket and the vigorous domestic structure that fosters well-rounded players.
"Plus, I don't see any insecurity among the Indian players. Maybe because financially their Board looks after them very well," Khan said.
