I will only then label him as the best T20I cricketer – Saba Karim sends message to Suryakumar Yadav ahead of T20 World Cup

By James Kuanal Modified 26 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Suryakumar Yadav smashed 36-ball 69 against Australia in T20I series decider on Sunday. [Pic credits: BCCI] Former Indian cricketer Saba Karim is extremely pleased with Indian middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav. He hailed his incredible range of shots and ability to play crucial knocks against strong bowling and fielding attacks. The former Indian selector said that the right-handed batter has emerged as a match-winner for India. However, Karim feels that Suryakumar's real test will be to deliver against quality teams in big tournaments. He wants the batter to perform in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia to earn the tag of "best T20I cricketer in modern-day cricket". Speaking to India News, Karim said: “Suryakumar Yadav has emerged as a match-winner for India. I am still waiting for him to score a big score against top-quality opposition in a big tournament, and I will only then label him as the best T20I cricketer in modern-day cricket. That opportunity is coming up for Suryakumar and I want him to replicate his form in T20 World Cup.” He added: “Suryakumar possesses all the qualities required in a batter. He scored runs against a strong bowling and fielding attack in the middle-order. He has an incredible range of shots but must deliver in T20 World Cup to be counted among world-class batters.” The Mumbaikar rose to the occasion in the T20I series decider against Australia in Hyderabad on Sunday (September 25), which India won by six wickets. Chasing 187 runs, he smashed 69 off 36 balls at a strike rate of 191.6. His entertaining knock comprised five sixes and as many fours. He also shared a crucial 104-run partnership with Virat Kohli.
