It is worth mentioning here that Mohammad Amir trapped Virat Kohli twice in two deliveries in the final of ICC Champions Trophy, the last time these two greats of the game faced each other.

Kohli was undone by a beauty and nicked the ball to slips, but was dropped by Azhar Ali. Amir then dismissed the India captain on the very next ball as Shadab Khan took a sharp catch to send him back to the pavilion.
