The "India Win, Pakistan Next" Phenomenon: A Blessing in Disguise in International Cricket and Athletics?

[FearlessRoar]

Have you noticed a peculiar pattern in international cricket and athletics?

- 2007: India wins ICC T20 World Cup
- 2009: Pakistan wins ICC T20 World Cup

- 2013: India wins ICC Champions Trophy
- 2017: Pakistan wins ICC Champions Trophy

- 2020: Neeraj Chopra (India) wins Olympic Gold in Javelin Throw
- 2024: Arshad Nadeem (Pakistan) wins Olympic Gold in Javelin Throw?

Is this merely a coincidence or a strange blessing in disguise for Pakistan? Does India's success somehow propel Pakistan to victory in the next edition?

Is ICC T20 World Cup 2026 loading for Pakistan?

Share your thoughts! Is this phenomenon a result of rivalry, motivation, or just plain luck?

If that's how Pakistan is propelled, it's a sad story to be honest.

Why no world cup win after 2011 then?

 

[charlie007]

In cricket, it has only repeated in some odd numbered years, so it won’t happen in 2026

Also, 1983 (India) and 1992 (Pakistan).

Let us lead the way, Pakistanis.

Wasn't the case for 2011 and 2015.

Doesn't always happen. And frankly speaking, Pakistan doesn't deserve it as long as this drama is going on.

Ik for a fact that salman Ali Agha, Saud shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Fakhar Zaman and many others all have it in them.

But they'll be shoved aside because Pakistan wants to glorify marketing + friendship and connections which is why azam khan, Usman khan, Shan masood, Imam ul Haq, Chacha and various other get gigs.

The aussie concept of Best 15 in the country does not apply to Pakistan.

In Australia Travis head is opening because their is no better opener then him, The day a better opener arrives, Travis will be dropped.

In pakistan Babar is opening because captain wants to be a hall of famer and opening for rizwan is the only way to save his crap career.

Imam was opening because inzi, now Abdullah is opening because SNGPL.

Only in pakistan can an Opener with less then 10 List A games be made a front runner for a world cup .

In cricket you PLAY YOUR BEST 15, now ask yourself if someone like shan masood or Azam khan are ampung the top 15 of pakistan?

Also, 1983 (India) and 1992 (Pakistan).

Let us lead the way, Pakistanis.

So bad that you guys snatched 2027 CWC from Pakistan by not winning 2023 one.

All of the Pak victories mentioned here were too enthralling.

 

[Varun]

So bad that you guys snatched 2027 CWC from Pakistan by not winning 2023 one.

Also it happens in losses too: we get knocked out by Bangladesh in 2007, you guys get knocked out by Ireland the same evening!

 

[Itachi]

Also happens in numerology too.

In alphabetical order, the position of I is 9

In alphabetical order, the position of P is 16

Now kick out that "1" from the "16" above.... we are left with "6" which is exactly opposite of "9".....

What the hell! What a co-incidence!

 

[mominsaigol]

T20 is Pakistan's weakest format, so no won't happen

 

[RahulBose]

Superstition and wishful thinking...

And lol at the attempt to label it a "phenomenon", as if it is following some kind of physical aspect of reality.
