"This young boy (Karun) has a bright future. He was selected in the team on the basis of his stupendous performance in domestic cricket and now he was created sensation by scoring 303 not out against a strong team like England," Karim, a former International keeper, told reporters.
Asked if Virat Kohli should take captainship in all three forms of game, Karim said "Kohli is capable. But, MS Dhoni has already been named as captain till Champions trophy in 2017."
When Dhoni leaves then Virat naturally will take over as captain in one day as well T20 too.
