XtraTime Web Desk: Two arch-rivals India & Pakistan haven’t faced each other in a bilateral series since 2012 due to the tensed political relations between the two nations. Though it hasn’t affected the players’ relation of the two countries. Players like Shoaib Malik, Virat Kohli, Mohammad Amir and others share a special bonding.
Rather Amir and Kohli are very good friends and the latter had even gifted his bat to the Pakistan’s best bowler ahead of the marquee clash at the Eden Gardens during the T20 World Cup 2016. And now the left-arm pace bowler has picked the Indian skipper as the best batsman of the current era.
Mohammad Amir has been going live with his friends and teammates on Instagram during this lockdown period and is having a chat with them to spend his time. Recently, while doing the same, he was asked to pick the best batsman and he went with Virat Kohli and also went on to say that there is no match to him in the present era.
Interestingly, he also named Saeed Anwar who used to open the innings for Pakistan as his favourite batsman overall. “My overall favourite is Saeed bhai but if you talk about this era then it is Virat Kohli. There is no match to him in this era,” Amir said.
