Former India opener Gautam Gambhir claimed that Virat Kohli has been an effective captain thanks to the presence of successful leaders like Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma in the squad.Speaking to reporters after interacting with students at a university in Ahmedabad on September 19, Gambhir said, "Still a long way to go for him (Kohli). Kohli was very good in the last World Cup (in England) but he has a long way to go. He captains so well in international cricket because he has got Rohit Sharma, he had MS Dhoni for a long time."Both Dhoni and Rohit boast impressive records while leading from the front. While Dhoni is considered as one of India's greatest captains having won two World Cups, Rohit has proved his credentials leading Mumbai Indians to an unprecedented haul of four IPL titles.Close Citing Kohli's record in the Indian Premier League, Gambhir said a skipper's effectiveness is tested when you don't have the services of several talented players. related news … [Read more...] about Kohli captains well because of Rohit and Dhoni’s presence, claims Gambhir
