Shubman Gill missed the chance to earn the respect: Mohammad Kaif
He also noted that Gill had a chance to show leadership by supporting Nair, who deserved one more chance, as if Sai manages to score runs in the ongoing fourth Test, the Karnataka batter’s journey with India will be all but over.
Mohammad Kaif posted, X: “Today was Shubman Gill's chance to back Karun, who was down but deserved one more chance. He should have picked Karun Nair. Chance missed to earn the respect when it comes to making tough decisions as a leader.”

So far in the ongoing five-match Test series, England has won all four tosses against India. Interestingly, no team has ever won a Test match at Old Trafford Cricket Ground after opting to bowl first, as out of 11 such matches, 3 were lost and 8 ended in draws.
