Former India selector Saba Karim has been left highly impressed by star batter Suryakumar Yadav, who is going through a purple patch in the shortest format of the game. Suryakumar, who is currently the second ranked batter in the T20I rankings, played knocks of 61 and 50 not out in the first two T20Is of the ongoing three-match series against South Africa. Speaking exclusively on SPORTS18's daily sports news show 'SPORTS OVER THE TOP', Karim feels that India's chances of winning the T20 World Cup now rely on Suryakumar's form during the tournament.
