Mohammad Kaif
| Immensely gifted, Mohammad Kaif's
elevation to the Indian team has been widely welcomed. During the last
couple of years he has impressed not only by his stylish strokeplay and
steely temparament which has seen him perform well under pressure, but
as leadership material. As skipper of the victorious under-19 side in the World Cup in Sri Lanka in January, Kaif proved himself to be a skilful captain. He came up through the ranks representing the under-19 team against Sri Lanka in 1999 (earning handsome praise from the coach, K Srikkanth) and then playing with much success for the India A team on the tour of West Indies earlier this season. But it was his showing in the under-19 World Cup that brought him into national reckoning. This was followed by two superb knocks of 90 and 93 in the Challenger Trophy, performances that saw him edge that much closer to the India cap. |
