Star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin hailed Gautam Gambhir who is soon to become Team India`s new head coach saying that Gambhir gave him confidence in his early years.
The star spinner recalled his talks with a former Indian opening batsman during his first full series for India which came against New Zealand in 2012. "I was playing my first full series.
