Virat Kohli's revelation that only MS Dhoni reached out to him after he stepped down as India's Test skipper hasn't gone down well with Sunil Gavaskar.

During a chat with India Today, the former India captain said that Ideally, if Virat named one person who got in touch, then the other persons who didn't get in touch should have also been named. 'That would have been a little bit fair to everybody concerned, rather than thinking that everybody else didn't get in touch with him,' Gavaskar added.

'What message did he want?' he questioned. 'Encouragement? But then he is done with captaincy, so why would he need encouragement? That chapter is already closed.' Gavaskar also advised Virat to now just focus on his role as a player.
