"Mumbai Indians rely heavily on Suryakumar Yadav" - Saba Karim
Former India wicket-keeper Saba Karim believes Suryakumar Yadav's presence in the middle-order makes Mumbai Indians a potent side in the competition. Saba lauded his ability to anchor the innings while not compromising on the scoring rate.
Speaking on YouTube show Khelniti, Saba Karim said:
"Mumbai Indians are lucky to have someone like Suryakumar Yadav who can come in to bat at number 3 or 4 and can anchor the innings, while also hitting boundary shots when needed.
"Mumbai rely heavily on Suryakumar Yadav's batting. His name will also come up for sure when the franchise looks for the players to retain for their upcoming seasons," he added.
Suryakumar Yadav looked in good form in the first half, scoring 173 runs from seven matches at a strike rate of 144.16. With the T20 World Cup 2021 to follow, the right-handed batsman will look to keep up the good work and make his first-ever ICC event a memorable one.
