5 best moments from the Asia Cup 2016

#4 When Kohli withered the Amir storm

Virat stood strong amidst Amir’s brilliant spell

When Pakistan ended up scoring a meagre 83 against India, everyone thought the match was as good as over. That was until Mohammad Amir decided to turn up and bowl one of the dream spells of his lifetime.

Bowling with pace and vicious swing, he dismissed Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane in the first over. When he managed to remove Suresh Raina later, he had figures of 3 for 3. Amir was breathing fire, baying for blood. Only Virat Kohli stood in the way of an unlikely upset.

Amir ran in, hit the deck hard and swung the ball. Kohli just calmly stood his ground quietly acknowledging the brilliance of Amir and even congratulating him for such a surreal spell. The Kohli versus Amir dwell was one of the high points of the tournament.

Gradually, Kohli withered the storm and guided India to a famous win. Kohli and Amir were seen congratulating each other after the match, once again acknowledging each other's brilliance. That was sportsmanship spirit at its best.
