One of the finest left-arm seamers currently playing the game, Mohammad Amir has been a nightmare for the top-order batsmen with his pace and prodigious swing with the new ball. He has troubled some of the best in the world and Kohli had even described the Pakistani left-arm pacer as 'one of the toughest bowlers I have played in my career'.

The 26-year-old has picked up more than 200 wickets for Pakistan in all formats of the game and is a frightening bowler to face on his day. However, Amir revealed Steven Smith as the toughest batsmen he has ever bowled at. Though he is currently banned, Smith averages almost 62 in Test match cricket.

When asked who is the most difficult batsman to bowl to in the current era, Amir took the name of Smith during a recent interview.
