In the third match of the 2020 Road Safety World Series, India Legends star Mohammad Kaif turned back the clock with hi♒s exceptional fielding efforts.
Kaif, who was once a⭕ gun fielder of Team India, reminded the fans as to why his fielding is so highly rated. The 39-year-old grabbed two stunning catc🍌h to dismiss Sri Lanka Legends captain Tillakaratne Dilshan (23) and middle-order batsman Chamara Kapugedera (23).
In the eighth over of the first innings, Munaf Patel delivered a shortish ball around off to Dilshan as the batter miscued his pull shot. The ball came off the top edge of the bat, and Kaif took a splendid running catch at deep🉐 mid-wicket to complete the dismissal.
Kaif registered a similar effort in the 18th over when Kapugedera flicked a delivery off Tendulkar’s go-to-man Zaheer Khan. Fielding at deep mid-wicket, Kaif ran to his right to complete his second praiseworthy catch of the match.
When goes all out! In yesterday's match, truly proved that the Class Is Permanent with his outstanding fielding. After all they say, catches win the matches! Like it, if you watched the match live on .
