“I’ve told this in many interviews, why do I say Virat Kohli is my favourite? He is the best in this era. He just cannot be compared! It’s because I have bowled to him as well and the level of temperament, the mindset he carries towards the game, his work ethics and the way he handles the pressure, I don’t think in this time any batsman can handle this sort of pressure as he did."

"People begin comparing him with different batsmen. He just does not have any comparisons. And yes, this has been one of his best innings in T20 (82* against Pakistan) and he has said it himself. And you see it, he just took the game away from under Pakistan. And this is the recognition of a big player, people say he wasn’t in form, but a big player is that who steps up in the high-pressure situations and what Virat did, only he could have done!” added Amir.

Kohli has scored consecutive half-centuries in the two outings against Pakistan and the Netherlands in the Super 12 stage and will look to maintain his red-hot form in the tournament going forward.
