During the early 2000s, Kaif along with Yuvraj Singh revolutionised Indian fielding standards and set a new benchmark for the generations that followed. He was also an ideal middle-order batting choice and averaged over 32 in both Tests and ODIs. While the cricketer announced his international retirement in 2018, Kaif can be regularly seen on various social media platforms.
