Mohammad Kaif, the former India cricketer who shares his surname with Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif sent twitter into a frenzy with a photograph of the two celebrities. “Finally the Kaif’s meet. PS- As clarified earlier, abhi tak koi rishta nahi, except insaaniyat ka,” Mohammad Kaif captioned the photograph, explaining the two Kaifs have no relation to each other except for humanity. The tweet was soon flooded with fans’ comments, with some wishing the two while others making hilarious jokes out of it.
A fan called them “Mohammad Katrina”, while other explained a commonality between the two: “Both Kaifs’ career took a huge stardom from London; #KatrinaKaif from the movie Namaste London, @MohammadKaif from NatWest final on @HomeOfCricket Lord’s London!”
Many fans lauded cricketer Kaif for his impressive fielding.
Kaif worked as an assistant coach with Delhi Capitals in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019. Along with Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly in the coaching staff, Kaif helped Delhi Capitals finish third in the points table.
During the IPL 2019, Kaif had suggested a new rule should be brought in so that teams do not misuse the provision to replace fielders.
Pointing out specific instances from the current season, Kaif said it is unfair that teams can replace poor fielders with good fielders even when no injury has been sustained.
Speaking on behalf of the Delhi Capitals team management, Kaif said this is an issue that will be raised with the match officials.
“Good fielders are staying while poor fielders are going out. In the Delhi Capitals-Kolkata Knight Riders game, Piyush Chawla went out after bowling his four overs and Rinku Singh came in,” Kaif said.
