Ex-India cricketer Mohammad Kaif praised India captain Shubman Gill, saying he led better than England skipper Ben Stokes in the first Test. "As a young captain, Gill did brilliantly by giving Jasprit Bumrah four-four overs and rotating him well," he said. Kaif added, "Apart from captaincy...he showed he can deliver with the bat." Gill scored 155 runs in the match.
