Mohammad Amir was a key player in Pakistan’s win in the Champions Trophy 2017. He had taken three wickets, conceding 16 runs in six overs. He dismissed Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Rohit Sharma.
Mohammad Amir picks Hardik Pandya
Amir would have remembered Hardik Pandya’s innings in the Champions Trophy 2017, where he played a stellar knock of 76 runs off 43 balls.
