India international spinner and KKR star Varun Chakravarthy has now spoken highly of SKY's leadership as he labelled the MI star a bowler's delight.

Speaking to Revsportz, Chakravarthy said: "Surya is someone very similar to Rohit. He is very tactically sound & maybe his time at MI has given him good exposure to great captains. He never puts pressure on the bowlers. It would be a bowler's delight to have a captain like him."
