Genjutsu was the entire reason why Gai even changed his fighting style against Sharingan into dodging eyesight. It was obviously one of Kakashi's usual tactics against him if Gai feared it enough to change his style entirelyBecause Kakashi definitely relies on genjutsu on a usual basis. Because Kakashi can definitely track and physically keep up with 7G Gai to draw eye contact in CQC. Because Gai definitely would look right into his eyes despite explaining how he fights sharingan users back in part one. Laughable, per usual.
On a relevant note, Kamui at it's full potential is the single most haxxed jutsu outside of god tier. With that being said, the winner of this match is very circumstantial imo. If Kakashi pulls out MS before Gai goes 7G, it's Kamui GG. If Kakashi allows Gai to go 7G and in full movement speed, Kakashi is getting obliterated.
OT: Manga portrayed Kakashi as his superior all throughout the manga indicated even by Garp himself in the war arc that Kakashi was always a step ahead of him and no amount of feats are going to discredit manga portrayal(considering feats are arbitral depending on each other's mind anyway). Only moment where Kakashi acknowledged to have been surpassed by Gai is after seeing 8th gate and even then he got relayed again by DMS Kakashi coming later
