Gambhir noted that Kohli had taken over the reins from MS Dhoni at a very young age and had succeeded in building a strong bowling unit. The head coach pointed out that Test matches were won by taking 20 wickets and claimed that Kohli’s role in building a strong bowling unit made him one of the most successful captains in the country.

I can understand what you must have gone through. A 25-year-old boy taking up the Test captaincy and then what you did brilliantly was that you had built a very strong bowling unit. Test matches are won by taking 20 wickets,” Gambhir told Virat Kohli.
