Sachin's wicket or Kohli's? Mohammad Amir picks his favorite!
Pakistani Mohammad Amir, recently, gave an interesting interview. During the interview, he revealed two highlights of his career till now. First, how he picked up the wicket of Virat Kohli in the Champions Trophy and why Tendulkar's dismissal is his most special wicket. Notably, Amir was dropped for the Tests against Australia and has returned to the domestic fold to find his rhythm back.
Kohli and Sachin's comparison is a popular discussion among fans
Is Kohli better than Sachin? This discussion has taken the center stage among cricket fans. Kohli is often compared to the legend, especially with him smashing several records in recent times. Amir holds the distinction of dismissing both Sachin and Kohli in his career. Getting Sachin out used to be a highlight of a bowler's career. The same can also be said about Kohli.
Amir picks Sachin's dismissal as his most special wicket
When asked about whose wicket was special in his career, Amir replied, "Both. They're both big batsmen. Tendulkar I will say because when I was playing then, I was new to the team. So Sachin's wicket was special for me."
Amir vs Kohli: One of the greatest battles of all-time
While speaking to Pakistani journalist Zainab Abbas, Amir revealed the plan that helped him dismiss Kohli in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017. Pakistan thrashed India as Amir produced a lethal performance. The two share a big rivalry and this battle between bat and ball has always been top notch. Further, both players respect each other.
Amir on the plan he used to dismiss Kohli
This is what Amir said on the dismissal. "When Virat Kohli came in, I had bowled an in-swing delivery and he was beaten. Rohit Sharma was also dismissed off an in-swinging delivery too. He was dropped earlier and I thought if he stuck around, he will take India towards victory. The next ball I got his wicket after Shadab Khan took a brilliant catch."
