India captain Suryakumar Yadav, who showcased his captaincy skills in the first T20I against Sri Lanka, has expressed his desire to be a leader rather than a captain. Despite Sri Lanka's aggressive approach, India managed to take the game away with the introduction of Axar Patel in the 15th over. Suryakumar's captaincy skills were praised by former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan.
