CT2017 final: Amir issues a warning to Kohli

Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir has issued a warning to Indian skipper Virat Kohli as the war of words have already begun between the two nations.

India will play Pakistan in the final of the Champions Trophy 2017 on June 18 at The Oval in London which is for the first time since 2007.

Amir was quoted as saying on One India News that Kohli will be under pressure to perform in the final as it is his first final of an ICC event as the captain of the India ODI side. He said, "The India team relies on Virat Kohli and he will be under pressure because it's his first big tournament final as a captain. There is no doubt that his wicket will give us an advantage."

The spearhead, who had missed the semifinals against England due to back injury, is likely to return in the final match against arch rivals.

He has taken only two wickets in the tournament so far but he is absolutely unplayable in matches against Sri Lanka and South Africa.
