Former India opener Gautam Gambhir feels that a lot of credit should be given to MS Dhoni for backing Virat Kohli after his poor performance against England in 2014.

MS Dhoni should be given credit for backing Virat Kohli: Gautam Gambhir

While VVS Laxman and Guatam Gambhir were discussing the growth of Virat Kohli as a Test cricketer in the Star Sports show Cricket Connected, the former said that the 2014 tour to England was the catalyst for the change in the Indian skipper.

"...that 2014 series was very important. It was a miserable series. But to come back in such a fashion like the way he did in all the 3 formats, performing consistently and winning matches for India, maintaining high standards for himself is just incredible. He went to Australia and made those centuries and even in South Africa," VVS Laxman was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.

Gautam Gambhir agreed with what VVS Laxman said and also gave credit for MS Dhoni for supporting Virat Kohli.

“I totally agree with Laxman bhai. The sort of series it was in 2014, even though I was there on that tour. You have to give credit to MS Dhoni because a lot of careers have ended after such a series, especially in one format. But he gave that kind of security to Virat Kohli plus his own eagerness,” Gambhir said.
