Only if the magical performances of Mohammed Shami good not enough is brother Mohammad kaif is setting the cricket world on fire. Having bowled a magical spell of 4 for 14, kaif stepped up with the bat at no. 9 with an unbeaten 45 to help Bengal take the first innings lead of 128 runs against his home side Uttar Pradesh on day two of their Ranji Trophy Group B match in Kanpur on Saturday. It is worth noting that this is the first time Kaif is playing First-Class.
Earlier this month, Shami had congratulated his brother for making it to Ranji Trophy from the Bengal side.
Shami had written on X, formerly known as Twitter that, "Finally after a long struggle, you got Ranji trophy cap for Bengal. Cheers!! Great Achievement !! Congratulations, I wish you a great future ahead! Give your 100% and Keep continuing hard work & do well.”
Talking about the Bengal vs Uttar Pradesh Ranji Trophy game, Kaif's team folded up for 188 after resuming at 95 for 5 under challenging conditions at the Green Park, with veteran India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar returning excellent figures of 8 for 41.
