Wanted shooter Mohammad Kaif was sent to 14 days judicial custody after he surrendered before a Siwan court on Wednesday. Kaif created trouble for the ruling JD (U)-RJD government in Bihar after his pictures with Shahbudin and other RJD leader went viral.
Meanwhile, the name of Mohammad Kaif created an identity crisis for former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif. Initially, people thought the shooter is former acrobatic fielder Mohammad Kaif.
It surprised cricketer Mohammad Kaif himself as he received the news for the first time. Even a journalist called cricketer Mohammad Kaif’s brother and said, “Alas! What brother Mohammad Kaif did!” Even a news agency carried out a news material with Kaif’s news.
Mohammad Kaif himself didn’t know that, but since he was receiving phone calls regarding the case, he tweeted and cleared the confusion and the mistakes of Indian media. It was a clear mistake from the media’s side because they didn’t cross check before confirming the article. Probably the competition did it, but this kind of confusion exposed the problem with media as it created an identity crisis for another person who is not involved. Kaif’s image dented to his fans for a while, and an identity crisis prevailed.
Innocent Kaif, who is preparing for the Ranji seasons as he will captain new Ranji team Chhattisgarh.
Kaif said, “ Sir my name is Mohammad Kaif and I am not that sharp shooter. I don’t shoot with a gun, though still attempt to shoot the ball on the stumps. Will try to do so in the upcoming domestic season while leading Chattishgrah, who are playing Ranji Trophy for the first time. Shower your good wishes but please stop the confusion. Not all Mohammad Kaif is not a cricketer and as the cliché goes, when in doubt ,check it out.”
It is clear that Kaif is really upset as his personal life affected due to a mistake of media.
My name is @MohammadKaif but I m not that Sharp Shooter.
