A left-armer like Amir, Rehman ripped through strong Indian batting line-up in the first two match of three-ODI series, taking a total of 11 wickets.
Rehman, whose brilliant performance helped Bangladesh post first ever series victory over India, said: "Mohammad Amir is my idol. I just follow the bowling of Amir.
His spot fixing allegations don't bother me." <img title="Mustafizur Rahman celebrates the wicket of India skipper MS Dhoni in Mirpur on Sunday.

Reacting to Rehman's comments, Amir said he felt honoured to learn that someone wanted to be a bowler like him.
"I felt so good to hear what Mustafizur had to say and I must say he is set for a great career because he is not an easy bowler to reckon with. He has all the weapons and he appears to have good cricketing sense," Amir said.
