Mohammad Amir begins chat session with fans

Amir asked his fans to chat with him on Twitter and ask their questions.

Kohli is the best, says Amir

When a fan asked who is the best batsman in the world, the Pakistan speedster replied 'Virat Kohli'.

Kohli better than Root, Smith and Williamson

When asked to pick between Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson as the best batsman, he picked Kohli.

Cherishes Sachin-Kohli's wicket

When asked if he cherished Virat Kohli's wicket in this year's Champions Trophy or Sachin Tendulkar's wicket in his first Champions Trophy, the cricketer put both at same level.

Favourite CT17 moment

When asked what was his favourite moment of the final of ICC Champions Trophy, Amir replied: "My first spell".

Kohli has always praised Amir when ever the two faced each other. The Indian 'run machine' has shown respect to the left-arm speedster.

Amir got better of Kohli when the two last faced each other in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final.

He dismissed Kohli cheaply and picked up crucial wickets from his fiery spell to lay the foundation stone for Pakistan's historic win.Amir(6-2-16-3) broke India's backbone in that game with his devastating spell. As a result, Men in Blue were bundled out for 158 in only 30.3 overs.

Rohit Sharma (0), Shikhar Dhawan (21) and Kohli (5) were the three wickets claimed by Amir in a breathtaking display of fast bowling.
