Team India: Shoaib Akhtar raised questions about India’s bowling strategy against South Africa in the Super-8 match of T20 World Cup 2026.
Calcutta : Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has criticized India’s bowling tactics against South Africa in the Super-8 match of T20 World Cup 2026. India suffered their first defeat in the tournament in that match. That day Team India was defeated by South Africa by 76 runs.
Shoaib Akhtar especially in the death overs after India’s disappointing bowling performance Shivam Dubey And Hardik PandyaCriticizes team management over decision to use K. According to him, the match was lost due to not taking the right bowling options at crucial moments.
Akhtar “The real face of Indian bowling has come out. If you look at Varun Chakraborty, he was bowling at 97-98 kmph, he was bowling at 94 kmph that day. And when he came into the attack brevis He hit a six without seeing him. Here is the shortcoming Kuldeep Yadav. He is a bowler who can fool the batsmen and take wickets when needed. He is a match winner.”
It may be noted that Kuldeep Yadav has played only one match in the tournament so far. Against Pakistan he took 1 wicket with 14 runs in 3 overs. However, he was replaced by Arshdeep Singh in the last two matches against Netherlands and South Africa.
