Kaif also praised the fight of Sonal Dinusha as the hero for Sri Lanka, who saved the Test match after scoring a hundred in the second innings when the side was handed a follow-on. India won the series 1-0 as they defeated the Island nation in the first Test by a huge margin of 165 runs.
"Shubman Gill, somewhere in the middle, looked like he was reaching out for help. He did not have too many experienced players in his team either. KL Rahul is there, of course, as the vice-captain, Rishabh Pant is there, and Jadeja has played around 90 Test matches, but he does not really come into the leadership role. They did not have many leadership-type players in the team."
"I saw Shubman Gill going up to the bowlers": Mohammad Kaif believes Shubman Gill failed to execute his plans
"Many times, I saw Shubman Gill going up to the bowlers, and there were also instances when they bowled two wides down the leg side. You would think, ‘We are trying to keep Sonal away, so let’s bowl a dot ball. It is the last ball of the over, so let’s bowl it outside.’ They had planned things to that extent throughout the Test match," Kaif said on his YouTube channel.
Sri Lanka earns a fighting draw
Sri Lanka’s Pasindu Sooriyabandara and Sonal Dinusha stood tall as the former scored 80 and the Southpaw scored 103 in the first innings, but they failed to save the follow-on as they were bowled out for 290 runs. After being forced to follow on, the same duo stood up as Sooriyabandara scored 92 runs and Dinusha played a knock of 133 runs as the Island nation saved the follow-on and drew the match.
