“I can’t understand how brainless can a captain be. How did Sarfaraz not realize that this team cannot chase?” Akhtar asked. He said that Sarfaraz committed the same mistake that Virat Kohli did after winning the toss in the Champions Trophy Final.
On Mohammad Amir, Akhtar said that despite taking three wickets in the game, the fast bowler was played easily by the Indian batsmen.
The former top bowler went on to call the team management clueless. “Our management is absolutely clueless. And Sarfaraz Ahmed has become a mamu (puppet) in front of the management. He doesn’t know how to captain and take decisions,” said Akhtar.
