In the Manchester Test, Team India took a decision that made former cricketer Mohammad Kaif very angry. Mohammad Kaif even said that Shubman Gill lost the opportunity to earn respect. Mohammad Kaif was angry because Team India dropped Karun Nair from the playing XI. In place of Karun Nair, the Indian team gave Sai Sudarshan a chance in Manchester. Let us now tell you how Mohammad Kaif finally targeted Shubman Gill?
Mohammad Kaif became angry with Shubman Gill
Mohammad Kaif raised the issue of excluding Karun Nair through social media posts. Kaif wrote, ‘Today Shubman Gill had a chance to stand with Karun Nair. They should have got one more chance. Has missed the opportunity to earn respect. This as a leader, he earns only by taking strong decisions on the difficult occasion. However, fans do not agree with Kaif’s statement.
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.

Karun Nair failed in 3 Tests
Karun Nair was given a chance in three Tests by Team India. He failed to score a half -century in all three matches. In 6 innings of this series, only 131 runs came out of Karun Nair’s bat. In the last three Tests, only Karun Nair has not scored a half -century in the top 6 batsmen. By the way, the interesting thing is that a day before the Manchester Test, Shubman Gill defended Karun Nair in the press conference, but after the toss, he was shown the way out. Mohammad Kaif is definitely angry from outside Karun Nair but former captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that there was some problem in Karun Nair’s technology, due to which he was dropped.
