Not Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli! Mohammad Amir Names The Toughest Batsman To Bowl Against

Former Pakistan speedster Mohammad Amir said that he has never had difficulty bowling to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are regarded as one of the best batsmen in international cricket.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir, who shocked the entire cricketing world by announcing sudden retirement last year, is now turning heads for making another statement on Team India captain Virat Kohli and limited overs format vice-captain Rohit Sharma.

The former Pakistan speedster said that he has never had difficulty bowling to these two batsmen, who are regarded as one of the best batsmen in international cricket.  Not only this, he said that he finds it easy to bowl against Rohit. Amir believes that he can easily dismiss Rohit.

Rohit and Virat are ranked among the best batsmen of limited overs format currently.  When Aamir was asked about bowling against these two batsmen, he said," While bowling I swear, I didn’t find bowling to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma difficult. I didn’t find it difficult at all. I find it easy to bowl to Rohit. I feel I can dismiss him both ways. He struggles against in-swinging deliveries from left-handers, and even early on, he struggles against the ball that goes away.

Virat Kohli, I find it slightly tough because he handles pressure conditions really well,” Amir told Cricwick in an interview.

The speedster also revealed he finds it most difficult to bowl against Australia's Steven Smith.

“I find it most difficult to bowl to Steve Smith. Because his technique is very difficult. He stands in such an angle that you don’t understand where to bowl to him,” Amir asserted.

Mohammad Amir has applied for citizenship of England. There is speculation that the 29-year-old may take part in the IPL after getting the British citizenship. He reportedly wants his children to grow up in England and get their education there.
