Former Indian batter Mohammad Kaif played an excellent knock of 73 runs in the Legends League Cricket 2022 competition.

During the Legends League Cricket 2022 match between Manipal Tigers and Bhilwara Kings, the former Indian batter Mohammad Kaif was in full flow. Kaif, who was playing for Manipal Tigers scored a brilliant half-century, but could not lead his side to a victory in the match.

Manipal Tigers were batting first, and Kaif played an excellent knock of 73 runs in just 59 balls with the help of 10 boundaries. He was timing the ball really well, and it was a pleasure to see him bat in that kind of rhythm. Even Kaif was elated after playing this stunning knock.

Mohammad Kaif went on Twitter after the game, and he was thrilled about scoring his highest T20 score at the age of 42. He said that the sound of the bat hitting the ball is any player’s heartbeat, and he is ready to go for the remaining games.

“Sound of the bat hitting ball is a player’s heartbeat. At 42, got my highest T20 score. Zinda hoon mai, bring it on,” Mohammad Kaif tweeted.

Kaif, who announced his retirement from all formats of the game in 2018 was a part of the title-winning Rajasthan Royals squad in the inaugural edition of the IPL. He has also represented Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the history of the IPL.
