Since its debut in 2007, Rohit languished in the middle order, with consistency being its main problem.
Dhoni apparently took note of Rohit’s hidden talent and gave him a long rope. He then promoted Rohit to starter in 2013 and that move worked wonders for him as the right-hander became one of the deadliest first-order hitters in white ball cricket.
“Where Rohit Sharma is today is by M.S. Dhoni,” Gambhir told Sports Tak.
“You can talk about the selection committee and the administration of the team, but if you don’t have the support of your captain, then everything is useless. Everything is in the captain’s hands.
“As Dhoni supported Rohit Sharma over a period of time, I don’t think any other player has received such support,” he added.
Previously, Gambhir had described Rohit as the best white ball cricket player in the world. In his birthday wish for Rohit, Gambhir wrote: “Happy birthday to the world’s best white ball cricketer Rohit Sharma! Have a great year ahead!”
“I don’t know about that Gauti bhai. But I love your job,” Rohit replied to praise from his former teammate.
