Despite Pakistan&#8217;s attempts to trouble Rohit with short-pitched deliveries, the &#8216;Hitman&#8217; effortlessly dispatched them for some magnificent maximums.<br \/>Akram expressed his dissatisfaction with the tactics employed by the Pakistan pacers and emphasised that there should only be one place for the bouncers directed at chest height.<br \/>\u201cYou have bowled bouncers at chest height. Rohit Sharma is not 6\u20195\u2019\u2019. If you\u2019ve to bowl the bouncers, bowl at his face height and that too slightly outside off so that he pulls and there is fine leg, and square leg. If you bowl bouncers at chest height, there is only one place for it \u2013 stands,\u201d Akram said, while anlaysing the game on Pakistan-based sports channel A News.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW\">\n<p class=\"efT4r\">Watch: Virat Kohli gifts Pakistan captain Babar Azam a signed jersey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Regarding <!-- -->Mohammad Rizwan<!-- -->&#8216;s dismissal, Akram noted that <!-- -->Jasprit Bumrah<!-- --> outwitted him with a clever slower delivery that cut back in towards the batsman, ultimately disturbing the stumps.<br \/>\u201cEverything was finishing within the stumps, and there was the slow ball against the set batsman (Rizwan). Any batsman would have got out on this kind of delivery. It nipped back and then pitched, held its line, and just clicked his off-stump,\u201d Akram added.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ?
