Gautam Gambhir heaps praise on Virat Kohli, reveals how he became India's most successful Test captain
Kohli became India's most successful Test captain with 40 wins and 11 draws and 17 losses in 68 matches. He achieved a win percentage of 58.82 in his seven-year tenure.
Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, two Indian cricket stars whose paths have crossed again in the Team India setup, met for a BCCI-organized chat in which they discussed everything about cricket. Gambhir and Kohli, who have previously played together for Team India in various formats, will now share the dressing room once more, but this time as coach and player in the Indian team.
In an interview, Kohli elaborated on his journey as a young Test captain who replaced MS Dhoni, the most successful captain in Indian cricket history.
Kohli told Gambhir, "What excited me about Test cricket and when I was moving forward as captain was the challenge. We were making the transition when you guys made way for a younger team and Mahi bhai stepped down from Test captaincy. I was 25, so for me it was like ‘I’m here with a bunch of 24-25-year-old boys. How can we become household names?’ We sat down and thought, ‘I really need to plan this. It can’t happen by chance.'”
