Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir says that Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world right now. Although he admitted that the trio of Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith were good, he admitted that for him, it is the Indian captain. The fast bowler, who is currently playing county cricket for Essex answered questions from his fans on Twitter.
In a freewheeling Twitter Q&A with his fans, Amir spoke about a lot of things including his favorite cricket in the current squad whilst also sharing some insight into his personal preferences from his career highlights so far.

And it all began when he sent out a tweet asking for queries from his fans:
The big question about the best batman in the world came early and it was clear to see who Amir's favorite was.
The questions then shifted to the Champions Trophy, where he said that just playing for Pakistan in the tournament was his most unforgettable moment final and then described the first spell in the final as he favorite memory from the final. That was the spell that saw him dismiss Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan and send his side on their way to their maiden Champions Trophy title.
When asked about his unforgettable moment from the final, he said:
When asked about the favorite moment, the answer was prompt.
When asked about his best spell so far, the answer was again, a game against India. This time, in the 2016 Asia Cup.
When asked about his favorite teammate:
Amir certainly has a good record against Rohit Sharma but when asked about his feelings when bowling against the Indian opener, Amir was diplomatic and honest.
There were those tough questions which he answered with effortless grace.
And almost as quickly as it began, it was over.
