Former South African batsman, Hashim Amla has picked two Pakistani bowlers among the best he has ever faced in his record-breaking career.
Fast bowler Mohammad Asif and off-spinner Saeed Ajmal troubled Amla the most in his playing days. According to the legendary cricketer, Asif was the best bowler he faced due to his deadly accuracy coupled with the ability to swing the ball both ways.
His accuracy was amazing. With the new ball, he managed to take the ball away and in, and every ball felt like a question on you that could get you out, so I found him an amazing bowler.
