Kaif: Captaincy and Fatigue Affecting Shubman Gill's Batting
Shubman Gill, who recently became the ODI captain for India, is having a tough time with his batting.
A former cricketer, Mohammad Kaif, thinks the extra responsibilities are making it harder for Gill.
He says playing lots of games and being captain in multiple formats, including the IPL, is tiring.
Gill scored fewer runs after becoming captain, but had a good run as a Test captain earlier.
Kaif thinks the continuous cricket and captaincy duties are affecting Gill's performance, making him look mentally tired.
With upcoming matches, Gill hopes to regain his form.
Shubman Gill's batting form has declined after becoming India's ODI captain.
He struggled with the bat during the series against Australia, scoring 10, 9, and 24.
Earlier in England, Gill had a successful run as Test captain.
Mohammad Kaif believes captaincy and heavy workload are affecting Gill.
Gill is scheduled to play a T20I series against Australia.
