Credit to the New Zealand bowlers. They were bowling wides and being hit for sixes from there. It's not like India doesn't deserve any credit. I just didn't understand the bowling changes. When you know Abhishek Sharma struggles against spinners, you bring in Jacob Duffy," Amir said during a discussion on the 'Haarna Mana Hai' show.
"I have never seen New Zealand under such pressure. I have been following them since 2005, but I have never seen them under pressure," he added.
"I have to give credit to India. They have busted the myth of fast bowlers winning you tournaments. Even the batters can do that. They have proven it. In the semi-final and final, on flat tracks, they scored more than 250," said Amir.
Amir felt New Zealand had ignored an important strategy early on. He claimed they failed to use more spin against Abhishek Sharma when it mattered.
Despite all the remarks and statements, Mohammed Amir finally at the end gave credit to the Indian batsmen that they played really well, and they deserved to win.
