I dont know how we use these terms in electricitys real world.. ??
Both the terms line current/1.732 = phase current in delta.. or something like this confuse me a lot ??
Please these doubts in from my mind... !!!!!!

Amps is amps. The only thing affected by phase-to-phase or phase-to-neutral measurements is the voltage.
The phase-to-neutral voltage x √3 = phase-to-phase voltage.

In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage and the current are in phase but when a reactive component is added (such as inductance or capacitance) the phase between the voltage and the current will alter .
In the case of AC, power is generated in three phases each 120 degrees out of phase with the phase on either side.
This is done to allow a larger voltage to be distributed over the urban network. The voltage between any phase and neutral (in Australia at least) is 230V but the voltage between ant two phases is 415V (it's not double because of the phase shift) This is why when you look at a major power transmission Line, there are four cables, Three phases and the Neutral.
