    What's the story

    India batsman Robin Uthappa picked the best captain he has played under and surprisingly it was neither Rahul Dravid nor MS Dhoni.

    Under these two captains Uthappa played majority of his international cricket.

    Uthappa picked Gautam Gambhir, his skipper at IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders as the best leader he has played under.

    Here's more.

    Praise

    Good leaders make you feel secure, says Uthappa

    Uthappa feels Gambhir made him feel secure.

    "Gauti, for me, stood out. Even though he doesn't speak much, he communicates just what is enough, and you know that you're in a good place. Good leaders make you feel secure, then they let you be, and you see that in their results as a captain," Uthappa told ESPNCricinfo.

    Captaincy

    Uthappa had played six seasons under Gautam Gambhir's captaincy

    Uthappa had played six seasons under Gautam Gambhir's captaincy in Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

    He was first bought by KKR in 2012 and he played a major role in KKR lifting the trophy for the first time that year.

    Uthappa won another IPL for KKR in 2014.

    He was under Dinesh Karthik's captaincy in KKR, was released by the franchise.

    RR

    Uthappa looking forward to spend time with RR

    He was picked up by Rajasthan Royals and is supposed to represented the franchise in IPL 2020.

    On being a part of RR, he says, "I am genuinely looking forward to meeting and spending time with Steve Smith, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Oshane Thomas, Tom Curran and others because its only when guys come together, and set the common goal of wanting to win."

    Quote

    What we need today is a good finisher: Uthappa

    "What we need today is a good finisher. I have been practicing a lot because these things are like a process; they don't just happen overnight. You need to work on it every day. And God willing, it will happen at some point," he said.
