Mohammad Amir aims IPL stint in 2026
8 Mar 25
Pakistan’s former pacer Mohammad Amir, in an interview with Cricwick said that he had faced no difficulty bowling to Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are currently considered as two of the best batsmen in the world, and bowlers struggle against them. Amir, on the other hand, has no worries over bowling to Sharma and Kohli. In reality, the former pacer believes he has complete control of the situation.
“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,” said Amir.
The pacer, however, termed Australia’s Steve Smith as a difficult batsman because of his technique.
“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 concluded.
