India and Pakistan open their tournament campaign against each other on Sunday. “Suryakumar Yadav will be India’s game-changer. He will change the complexion after the six [Powerplay] overs and I have seen his shots, he was with me [Akram was mentor] in KKR [in 2012 and 2014] and now he has improved,” Akram told Aaj Tak.
“What a terrific player he [Surya] has become. He plays safe shots and doesn’t stop, so he should play in that manner only,” Akram added.
