Gill picked up a neck injury during the first innings of the opening Test against South Africa in Kolkata. He was later taken to Woodlands Multispeciality Hospital for scans and treatment before being discharged. Gill is expected to miss the second Test, and he could be unavailable for the ODI series as well.
Kaif also pointed out that vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is injured and uncertain for the South Africa ODIs, leaving Rahul as the most experienced and practical option to take charge.
This Indian Team Likes All-Rounders and Batting Depth a Lot - Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif said that Sai Sudharsan should come back into the XI if Shubman Gill is unable to play the second Test. Kaif stated that India needed a proper top-order batter rather than makeshift options. He added that on challenging turning surfaces, specialist batters are better equipped to survive.
"But I feel specialist batters should play on these tracks and they have a better chance to do well as they have an understanding. I feel there will be a turning track itself in Guwahati as well because the pitch would have been prepared already. But play on such pitches where our batters can score. We have bowlers who can pick wickets in all conditions," he added.
Second Test to Take Place in Guwahati from Saturday
The second Test is set to take place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, starting on Saturday, November 22. Rishabh Pant will lead the team if Shubman Gill is ruled out of the match.
