'Its not as if they are Malcolm Marshall': Akhtar slams Pandya, Dube

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar criticised Indias bowling after their 76-run loss to South Africa, calling the attack fragile and exposed. He slammed Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube for conceding 67 runs, saying they lacked pace and intimidation. Akhtar also criticised Varun Chakaravarthys costly spell and urged India to play Kuldeep Yadav, calling him the missing link and a proven match-winner.
