‘Spirit of Cricket’ Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir praises Virat Kohli

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir praises Indian captain Virat Kohli for winning the ICC ‘Spirit of Cricket’ award of the year 2019. The 31-year-old received the award for his heartwarming gesture towards Australia’s Steve Smith during the 2019 World Cup. After receiving the award, Virat expressed his surprise, stating that he had been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons a few years ago.

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir reacted to Virat Kohli’s comments on his official Twitter profile. He wrote, “Great words from great player.”The camaraderie between Virat and Amir goes a long way. In 2016, during the World T20 in India, the Indian captain gifted his bat to Amir on the eve of the game between both the sides during a practice session. Virat also congratulated Amir on his spell to him ahead of the T20 World Cup, during the Asia Cup in the same year.
