Suryakumar played under Gambhir’s captaincy and took on leadership responsibilities during his time at the franchise, eventually serving as vice-captain. While Uthappa admits that Suryakumar still has many years of franchise cricket ahead of him, he admitted that returning to India’s T20 team could be more challenging, given the intense competition for places and the team’s transition towards a young core.
