World Cup | Mohammad Kaif had key points to make after Team India's win over Bangladesh, and Tigers fans may want to listen

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif appreciated the contest between India and Bangladesh in which the Men in Blue emerged victorious as they beat the Tigers by 28 runs to confirm a berth for themselves in the semi-finals of the ongoing World Cup. 

The former player took to Twitter to appreciate the efforts of Bangladesh, especially the bowling of Mustafizur Rahman and Shakib Al Hasan, in restricting India's total to a score below 350. India got off to a flyer with a 180-run opening partnership between Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, following which Bangladesh put up a strong fight in the last ten overs, not allowing India to capitalize on the situation entirely.

Shakib Al Hasan tried to maneuver the innings for Bangladesh with yet another patient knock of 66 but was dismissed by Hardik Pandya following which the Bangladeshi batting saw a collapse, with little hope of getting to a win coming from Mohammad Saifuddin who remained at 51 not out at the end of the innings, as the lone survivor of the playing eleven of the Tigers. Kaif tweeted to appreciate the efforts of Shakib Al Hasan in trying to guide the Tigers to victory over the Men in Blue. Read the tweet here:
