Legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar has dominated world cricket with the bat for almost two decades. However, he has also outplayed opponents with his leg-spin, off-spin and sometimes googlies.
This time around Tendulkar found an opponent who faced his deliveries with much ease. At ‘Smaaash’, Mohammad Kaif’s son Kabir was seen facing Sachin, who was portrayed as the bowler on the video screen. After stumbling upon the video, Tendulkar was delighted by Kabir’s talent and took to his Twitter account. He posted the video heaping praise of the upcoming talent.
Here is the tweet:
Junior Kaif smashing it beautifully through the covers. Well done. Keep playing always. @MohammadKaif pic.twitter.com/lsUd8s1LCD

In response, Kaif was pleased to hear praises from the man himself. Kaif and Tendulkar have played together on numerous occasions. Although, he has not formally announced his retirement, he last played an ODI in 2006 against South Africa. Now, his batting shades can be seen in his son.
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 atleast.With you,always! https://t.co/0LTN1Gupi6
