Muhammad Amir Also Declares Virat Kohli ‘A Great Batsman’

Web Desk(October 20, 2017): Indian skipper Virat Kohli recently described Mohammad Amir as the toughest bowler he has faced in international cricket.

“In recent times, Mohammad Amir of Pakistan is in the top two or three bowlers in the world and one of the toughest bowlers that I have played in my career.

Responding to Kohli’s remarks, Pakistani pacer said he was floored with the India captain’s assessment of his bowling.

“The world knows Kohli is the best. You have to give your best against him. If you give him a chance he takes away the game, like he did in the Dhaka Asia Cup game,” Amir told.

“So I have to focus and do my best to target him. He has the best strike rate and average while chasing so he is also the biggest challenge for bowlers around the world.

“It is a great gesture on his part to praise someone and I am floored at his praise of my bowling. The way he presented me with the bat in Kolkata is an ever green memory for me.” 

Kohli has praised Amir earlier too and had last year gifted the 25-year-old pacer a bat before the India-Pakistan contest in the World T20 in 2016.
