Suryakumar replaced Rohit Sharma as India's captain in the shortest format of the game for the Sri Lanka tour. The 33-year-old pipped Hardik Pandya in the race to become India's T20I captain. His deputy will be Shubman Gill, who will be donning the vice-captain hat. The 24-year-old replaced Hardik as the vice-captain of the ODI as well as the T20I team. However, the star all-rounder will be travelling as a player for the T20I series. "Thank you so much for outpouring love, support and best wishes from you. Last few weeks have been nothing short of a dream and I am truly grateful. Playing for the country is the most special feeling that I will never be able to describe in words. This new role brings with it, a lot of responsibility, excitement and enthusiasm. I hope to keep receiving your support and blessings. All fame reaches God, God is great," Suryakumar wrote as his caption on Instagram as he understood the responsibility which awaited him. Suryakumar thanks his fans
