Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has shared his views and opinion around various players and topics over the past few weeks on a chat show. This time, Gambhir addresses the impact that former India captain and batsman Rahul Dravid had on the country's cricket.

Speaking exclusively on Star Sports show Cricket Connected, former India opener Gautam Gambhir 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. 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. Even his records, he’s probably the most under-rated cricketer and probably the most under-rated leader as well. We won in England, West Indies, we won some 14 or 15 games on the trot."
