At a time when there is religious turmoil all over the nation in the wake of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), former India batsman Mohammad Kaif has won over hearts with a tweet that truly shows the beauty of India. A large section of Muslims have been protesting over the controversial act and thus there have been protests all across the nation.

But Mohammad Kaif, on Sunday, overcame all the boundaries of all religions as he won each and every heart with his beautiful post for batting icon and his former teammate Sachin Tendulkar. Posting a picture of himself and Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammad Kaif called himself Sudama and his ex-teammate Lord Krishna as he wrote:

“My Sudama moment with lord Krishna.”

Unsurprisingly, the post drew plenty of appreciation on Twitter and people hailed the former Uttar Pradesh captain for his humility. Mohammad Kaif is regarded as one of the finest fielders to have played for India. He inspired an entire generation of budding cricketers with his stunning fielding exploits at a time when Indian players focused more on batting and bowling.

He was equally impressive with the bat. Who can forget his heroics in the monumental win over England in the NatWest Trophy final. Before retiring from the game in 2018, Kaif played 125 ODIs and scored 2,753 runs at an average of 32.01. He had two centuries to his name. In the Tests, in 13 outings, he scored 324 runs and one century.

Sachin Tendulkar, on the other hand, is the most decorated batsman in the history of the game.  No player has played more ODIs and Tests than him, no one has scored more runs than him and no one has more centuries than him. The legendary batsman scored a staggering 34,357 runs across formats, more than 6,000 ahead of the second-placed Kumar Sangakkara. In terms of centuries, he hit 100 and is 29 clear of the next on the list, Ricky Ponting. In ODIs, he has hit 49 tons while in Tests, he has scored 51 tons.

 

An avid cricket lover, I just love this game more than anything. Writing about cricket keeps me closer to the game.
