Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif posted an awesome post with batting icon Sachin Tendulkar with the caption: My Sudama moment with lord Krishna. This post drew plenty of appreciation on Twitter and people hailed the former Uttar Pradesh captain for his humility.

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.
