Mohammad Kaif’s Son Smashes A Cover Drive For Sachin Tendulkar’s Ball, Video Shared On Twitter
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is definitely a true inspiration for all the cricket aspirants. Every young Indian batsman aspires to become the next Sachin Tendulkar or simply to amass the nearest possible runs to his totalle. Starting from Indian skipper Virat Kohli, to every youngster who strives in the field of cricket, Sachin is the virtual god of the game and as perfect as it is, we all dearly call him ‘The God Of Cricket’.
The recent days didn’t go too well with Sachin after all the ruckus that messed up his presence in India’s upper house Rajya Sabha. Despite all this, Sachin Tendulkar is undoubtedly the most successful batsman in terms of runs and centuries in both ODIs and Tests.
Without bounding himself limited to the bat, during his 24-year long career, he made his reputation with the ball too. Tendulkar, who could bowl off spin, leg spin, and medium pace, often provided India crucial breakthroughs and a number of great batsmen from opposition teams found themselves at sea facing the little master.
Now, however, recently, Tendulkar’s bowling came in for punishment from a young boy. Kabir, who happens to be the son of former Indian cricketer, an ace fielder, Mohammad Kaif. Kabir was seen spanking Tendulkar through covers in a video posted by Tendulkar himself on social media. In the video, we can see Kaif’s little son mastering the cover drive to Sachin’s ball via a machine in the practice nets. Tendulkar himself shared the video on Twitter with some good words and Kaif reacted to the same later.
Posting this on Twitter, Sachin captioned it, “Junior Kaif smashing it beautifully through the covers. Well done. Keep playing always. @MohammadKaif.”

To such humble and kind words from Sachin himself. Kaif responded, “I always found it difficult to pick you in the nets @sachin_rt Paaji, whether it would be leg-spin,off-spin, cutter, wrong-un. My son Kabir seems to have handled your bowling much better 🙂 And as you say, India will transform when we keep playing a sport at least.With you, always!”

This conversation between the two prominent veteran cricketers has taken the Internet by storm. Kaif was regarded as a gutsy batsman in his playing days, he is best remembered for his match-winning 75-ball 87 at Lord’s that helped India pull off a 326-run chase against England to win the NatWest Series trophy in 2002.
