WHY IT COUNTERS SAND KING
Hard to reach
Zeus usually stays at the back in teamfights, so Sand King struggles to find and knock him down before he deals his damage.
Finds him in Sand Storm
Lightning Bolt gives true sight, so Zeus can hit and reveal Sand King inside Sand Storm, and it also interrupts Epicenter's channel.
Disables his Blink Dagger
All of Zeus's spells, especially Thundergod's Wrath, disable Sand King's Blink Dagger and cut his initiation and counter-initiation.

WHY IT COUNTERS SAND KING
No answer to Supernova
Sand King has nothing to deal with Supernova, since none of his spells are effective against it.
Keeps his Blink disabled
Phoenix's damage over time spells disable Sand King's Blink Dagger very often.
Percentage damage
Sun Ray deals damage based on max health, which helps bring Sand King down effectively.
