Amir finally reacts to Rohit Sharma’s ‘normal bowler’ comment

New Delhi: Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has finally given his take on Rohit Sharma calling him an ‘ordinary bowler’, finally responding to the almost-forgotten comments made by Sharma earlier this year.

In an interview to Sky Sports Amir said, “That was his opinion about me and he is entitled to that opinion.”

“Maybe his opinion about me has now changed. But let’s get one thing clear, I would never call him an ordinary batsman. In fact, I would call him an extraordinary batsman. His record for India is superb and I respect him” added the 25 year old.

“It’s not my concern at all and I just concentrate on my performances and what I am doing for my team. If I worried about other people’s opinions of me that would just cause me stress and that is why I avoid it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether it’s labeling a cricketer world-class or ordinary; it is up to that individual.”

In March 2016, Rohit had made rather rude comments about the pacer, saying that he didn’t deserve all the hype he was getting and wasn’t the only bowler in the Pakistan team.

Sharma had even gone to the extent of saying that the Pakistan seamer needed to prove himself over and over again to justify all the hype.
