Kohli and Amir have shown respect and admiration for each other in the past. During a recent chat show, where Kohli appeared alongside Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, the Indian cricket team captain praised the Pakistani speedster.

Kohli said: “In the recent times, Mohammad Amir of Pakistan (keeps him on his toes). He is in the top two or three bowlers in the world and the toughest bowlers I have played in my career. You have to be on your ‘A’ Game when you’re facing him or he will strike. Outstanding! Very good bowler!”

Amir, who was recuperating from an injury during that time, appreciated Kohli’s gesture.

Speaking to Wisden India, Amir had said “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 Kolkatta (during ICC World Twenty20 last year) is an ever green memory for me.”

“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,” added the Pakistan pacer before saying, “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.

“You become a better bowler when you bowl well against a batsman like Kohli,” concluded Amir.
