The immature Surender has turned into a patient and mature one.

Although the Himachal Pradesh man was a find of season 5, his real ability showed in season 6. The 20-years-old, who was known for his immaturity and advanced and solo tackles in season 5, has improved a lot and transformed into a mature, patient and a skillful defender in season 6.

He has scored 42 matches in 15 matches so far. His tally includes 2 high 5's and a strike rate percentage of 47.19. He, along with Fazel Atracheli and Rohit Rana has played an important role in making U Mumba the strongest defensive team in season 6

What makes him a utility player is his ability to play at different positions. In addition to his natural left-cover position, he can also play right cover, left corner and right corner. Due to his consistent performances so far, he might be seen as a probable replacement for any player in the Indian team.
