Kaif questions Shubman Gill's leadership in Colombo Test
Mohammad Kaif criticised Shubman Gill's captaincy, saying the India skipper lacked experienced support during the drawn second Test against Sri Lanka.
Former India batter Mohammad Kaif questioned Shubman Gill's captaincy after India failed to press home their advantage on the final day of the second Test against Sri Lanka. Kaif suggested Gill lacked experienced voices around him to guide the team through a challenging situation. The match ended in a draw.
Kaif stated the result might have differed if Virat Kohli remained in the side. Gill was seen socialising with comedian Tanmay Bhat in Mumbai after the tour. Former India batter S Badrinath believes Gill drives team decisions despite coach Gautam Gambhir's presence.
India won the series 1-0 but left runs on the board in Colombo.
