Akram said India failed to get the balance of the team. The legendary fast bowler asked why Harbhajan Singh was left out against South Africa, who are vulnerable to spin. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/oct/harbhajan.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 345px; " /> Harbhajan Singh &ldquo;I am puzzled with the way the Indian team management has picked playing XIs. For example, I feel a wicket-taking bowler like Harbhajan Singh was missed against the ragged South Africans on Tuesday night,&rdquo; Akram was quoted as saying by ESPNStar.com. Akram also questioned the decision to allow Lakshmipathy Balaji bowl the last over against South Africa. &ldquo;India&rsquo;s batting is one of the strongest in the world, but if you are expecting Zaheer Khan or a Balaji to win you a tight match every day, think again. &ldquo;Giving Balaji the last over against South Africa was suicidal. A bowler on a comeback is always short of confidence and I think India were lucky to win by a run,&rdquo; he said.
