Kaif is one of the best fielders to have played for India and he decided to hang his boots on July 13, 2018, 16 years after he played the memorable and match-winning knock against England in the NatWest Trophy final.

Sachin Tendulkar, who was also part of that match, hailed Kaif for choosing the perfect day to call it quits from all forms of cricket. “You’ve chosen the best day to announce your retirement, @MohammadKaif. Those memories are still fresh in our minds. May Lord bless you with more and more success, just like the one at Lord’s back in 2002. My best wishes to you always,” he wrote on his Twitter handle.

Have a super day and year ahead, @MohammadKaif.”
