But for former India opener Gautam Gambhir, a name that misses the discussion is that of Rahul Dravid. The right-hander captained India in 79 ODIs out of which India won 42 matches, and lost 33 games, with a winning percentage of 56. Speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Connected, Gambhir talked about the impact Dravid had on the Indian cricket team as a captain and said: “I made my one-day debut under Sourav Ganguly and my Test debut under Rahul Dravid. It is so unfortunate that we do not give Rahul Dravid enough credit for his captaincy.”Also read: West Indies complete isolation period, set for practice game“We only talk about Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni, now we talk about Virat Kohli, but Rahul Dravid has been a fabulous captain for India as well.
