Though India lost the first game but made a clinical comeback in the series, courtesy Rohit Sharma&#39;s scintillating batting display,&quot; Akhtar said in a video posted on his Youtube channel while mentioning Rohit&#39;s brilliant 85 in Rajkot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Rohit is a great talent, he can score runs any time he wants,&quot; Akhtar added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India, riding on great performances from KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube and Deepak Chahar, won the third and final T20I by 30 runs in Nagpur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I thought 3rd T20I will be exciting to watch. However, India came out as a much better side, but hats off to Bangladesh for their spirited performance,&quot; said Akhtar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing 175, Bangladesh looked all set to take the game away when Mohammad Naim and Mohammed Mithun stitched a 98-run partnership. However, the Bangla Tigers lost a flurry of wickets and were bundled out for 144 on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Bangladesh is no ordinary side, we all must remember that the Tigers are not going to choke in front of any team,&quot; Akhtar said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The former Pakistan pacer also praised Deepak, who became the first Indian male cricketer to pick up a T20I hat-trick. In fact, his figures of 6\/7 are now the best in history of T20 internationals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He (Deepak) is a mix of medium pace and seam and he displayed a commendable performance by taking a hat-trick in the game,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to the 44-year-old, all India needs to do is strengthen their middle-order and then they can beat the likes of Australia and other superior T20 team at next year&#39;s prestigious tournament scheduled to be played from October 18 to November 15.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
