Suryakumar Yadav can provide value at any position he bats: Saba Karim. In T20Is, Suryakumar Yadav has a strike rate of 175.4.
Former Indian selector Saba Karim praised Suryakumar Yadav’s versatility. Believes the Mumbaikar can be used as a floater for the side ahead of the Asia Cup in 2022. India will begin their campaign in the multi-nation tournament on August 28 against archrival Pakistan in Group A fixtures. All eyes will be on the playing XI. The 31-year-old scored a fantastic century from the middle order in England and opened in four games in the West Indies, where he looked in great form.
Suryakumar has rendered himself undroppable, which means that one of Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Karthik will be named as wicketkeeper-batter. Hardik Pandya will almost certainly make the playing XI due to his all-round ability. While Virat Kohli, despite not being in the best of form, will almost certainly bat at number three throughout the tournament.

Surya’s multi-dimensional abilities, according to Karim, will be useful in pushing him up the order if necessary. He can accelerate straightaway coming at the halfway point of the innings. He recognized the value that Suryakumar brings to the team at any position and desired. That the Indian middle order be made up of floaters who can adjust to situations. He added that Rishabh Pant can provide a left-handed option and revealed his top three in India’s batting lineup.
“Suryakumar Yadav is such a versatile player that I can keep him as a floater.” If my two openers bat until the seventh or eighth over, I can move him up the order. “I can also push him down the order if necessary because he’s such a player who can give me value at whatever number he bats and I’m looking at my 4-5-6 as floaters,” Karim said exclusively on SPORTS18’s daily sports news show ‘SPORTS OVER THE TOP.’
“I will, in fact, keep Rishabh Pant close at hand.” Because if I feel the need to pitch a left-hander at the top of the order, I can do so. But for the time being, my top three players are Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli,” he added.
