Indian opener Rohit Sharma has called Pakistan's tainted speedster just a 'normal bowler', while he heralded India's young sensation Jasprit Bumrah as a 'rare talent'. Incidentally, Amir had dismissed Rohit, Ajinkya Rahane and Suresh Raina in quick successions in the Asia Cup encounter. But Rohit said that the hype around Amir was 'unjustified' and the 23-year old, who served a match-fixing ban had a long way to go before being compared with legends. "Stop talking about him already," Rohit said of Amir in Kolkata. "He isn't the only bowler, Pakistan have five other bowlers who are doing well for them. "There is just so much hype around Amir, I don't think it is right to give him too much hype after one match. He is good but he needs to prove it over and over again. "Now people are comparing him to Wasim Akram and all that. He is just a normal bowler, on that given day if he is good, he is good. It is not as if he turns up and blows everyone away."

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and veteran pacer Ashish Nehra on Friday did not come for Indian team's pre-match day training after being advised rest ahead of the crucial Asia Cup T20 game against Pakistan, in Fatullah on Saturday. While Dhoni is suffering from back spasms, the injury-prone Nehra has his own specific training programme, which is different from the general team routine. Dhoni had played through pain against Bangladesh but back spasms need adequate recovery time, which is specifically the reason he has been given 48 hours to recuperate before the Pakistan match. His cover Parthiv Patel had his first training session but had precious little do as he did not get to bat in the main nets. Unless Dhoni's physical condition deteriorates further, Parthiv's chances of playing are minimal. There was one interesting sight during the training session on the match-eve. Both India and Pakistan trained adjacent to each other inside the main stadium at the Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium and trained at the same time between 4-6:30 pm local time. However, during the entire two and half-hour training session, no pleasantries were exchanged between the members of the two sides.
