Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has said that comparisons of Virat Kohli with Babar Azam or any other cricketer in the world makes him laugh.

Notably, Pakistan fans have often compared Babar with Kohli as the star batter has managed to break few of his records so far in his career.

However, which has resulted in his poor form in the past few years. Recently, Amir shared his thoughts on the comparisons of Kohli with the other players in the world and praised the India star as 'incomparable', mentioning his ability to win matches across all three formats.

"Virat Kohli is the greatest player of this generation. I laugh when comparisons are made between him and Babar Azam, Steve Smith, or Joe Root. We cannot compare Virat Kohli to anyone because he has won so many matches for India, which seems impossible for any one player. Not just in one format, but in all three formats, Virat is the greatest batsman of this generation," Amir said on the Cricket Predicta Show.

Further speaking ahead, the former speedster mentioned how Kohli made a remarkable comeback in his career after his disastrous tour to England in 2014. Amir also touched upon their on-field battles and said that his wicket in the 2017 Champions Trophy final played the key role in Pakistan's victory in that tournament.

"Virat Kohli's work ethic sets him apart from all players. After his bad phase in England in 2014, the way he made a comeback and then consistently performed brilliantly for the next 10 years was no ordinary feat. His wicket in the 2017 Champions Trophy final was very important for us, which helped us win the final. If Virat had not been dismissed, we would have lost the final because we all know how exceptional Virat's record is while chasing runs," he added.

Kohli struggling for runs in Tests

Amir managed to dismiss Kohli for just 5 (9) as the former India captain got a leading edge while playing a flick which went straight to Shadab Khan at point. As a result, India were bundled out for 158 chasing a massive target of 339 and failed to defend their Champions Trophy crown.

Meanwhile, Kohli has been undergoing poor form in Test cricket for a long time as he continued to register low scores after scoring his long-awaited hundred in Perth. The star batter is desperate to bounce back to form as India aim to take a lead in the ongoing series against Australia which is currently tied at 1-1.
