Pakistan's veteran fast bowler Mohammad Amir made his return to international cricket in 2016 from the T20 World Cup match played against India at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. Before that match, when Indian opener Rohit Sharma was asked about Amir, he called this Pakistani bowler a 'normal bowler'. Aamir has now given his answer to Rohit's statement after almost six years. The Pak pacer has said that he does not take Rohit's words seriously. Amir also reminded that Rohit has always been seen struggling in front of his balls. However, he also called Rohit a world class batsman.
