Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan also shared his take on the wicket, which left Peshawar Zalmi in a difficult situation in their PSL 10 game against the Gladiators.
Speaking on a private TV channel, the former captain lauded the left-arm pacer for setting up Babar Azam before his dismissal.
“When Mohammad Amir was bowling the first over against Babar Azam, he was not trying to get him LBW out. The first ball he bowled was a bouncer, followed by a delivery in the corridor,” he said.
Younis Khan added, “Amir used his experience and set up Babar very smartly by starting off with a bouncer. As soon as he realised that Babar is in his comfort zone, he bowled an inswing and got him out.”
