Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has backed the young Indian team to bounce back and level the ongoing Test series in England, stressing that panic after defeats could derail momentum.

In an exclusive interaction with IANS, Kaif praised India’s resilience despite missing senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and R. Ashwin, and credited captain Shubman Gill for stepping up both as a leader and as a batsman.
