Shubman Gill said yesterday that his biggest opponent could be "mental fatigue" after the India Test captain recently took over charge of the 50-over side.

Speaking ahead of today's second Test against the West Indies in New Delhi, Gill conceded that it was a challenge to play all three international formats, but that was what drove him.

"Physically most of the time I feel fine, but sometimes there is mental fatigue because when you are constantly playing," Gill told reporters.

"There is obviously a certain expectation that I have from myself."
