In reply, India comfortably chased down the target in 15.5 overs with seven wickets to spare. Kuldeep Yadav, who returned figures of 3/18, was named Player of the Match for his match-winning spell. Speaking on Sony Sports, Akram said the Pakistani batters completely failed to pick Kuldeep Yadav”s variations and their shot selection exposed that weakness. “It”s just the way he bowls. They can”t read him. In the pre-show, I was talking to Sunny bhai, who was a great batter. He said “unless and until you can read him from the hand, you won”t be able to understand that type of bowling”. So that”s what happened. When they sweep against Kuldeep every second ball, it means you are not reading him,” Akram said. “Pakistan played 63 dot balls in their innings” – Akram The legendary pacer further highlighted how Pakistan”s batting lacked application, pointing out their inability to rotate strike. “Pakistan played 63 dot balls in their innings — that”s just over 10 overs of dots. Credit to the Indian bowlers. It”s sad to see players like Hasan Nawaz, Haris and our captain; they are talented players. But you need to pick your bowlers, read the situation. They were all chasing a strike rate of 150,” he added.
