The temperamental bowler struggled with fitness in the last two Tests after taking six wickets in a losing cause in the first game in Delhi, finishing with just nine scalps, averaging 33.11. Imran made his comments in an Indian TV channel on Wednesday.
Akhtar said: "Imran Khan, who is a man and former player I admire and respect greatly, singled me out in his television analysis and said I should be disappointed with myself. I realise he was being kind in saying I am a match-winner, but I can't win Test matches on my own." Akhtar bemoaned the absence of injured new ball bowlers Mohammad Asif and Umar Gul.
"Imran had players like (leg spinner Abdul) Qadir and Wasim (Akram) to back him up or Sarfraz (Nawaz) before those days," he said.
