Former India wicketkeeper and selector Saba Karim to joined the chorus in support of Yadav — popularly known by his initials SKY — and added that he could be utilised as a floater in the Indian batting order in the upcoming tournament.

“Suryakumar Yadav is such a multi-dimensional player, I can keep him as a floater. I can push him up the order, if my two openers bat says till the 7th-8th over, I can push in SKY then,” Saba Karim said exclusively on SPORTS18’s daily sports news show SPORTS OVER THE TOP.

“Or in case it is required, I can also push him down the order because he’s such a player who can give me the value at whatever number he bats and I’m looking at my 4-5-6 as floaters,” added Karim.
