 India's young hopes
The hectic 'race to the tape' was orchestrated by youngsters Yuveraj Singh and Mohammed Kaif from a 'Death or Glory' situation.
Kaif & Co. can provide the side the much-needed thrust, with their fast running between the wickets and swiftness on the field, not to speak of their skills with the willow.
Kaif too is a gifted fielder with his anticipation and speed, always striving to convert half-chances, and it goes without saying that Kaif and Yuveraj have lifted the standard of Indian fielding.

As the winning run was being taken, the ninth wicket pair, Kaif and Zaheer Khan, took off in the air and pumped their fists in a show of exultation that might have raised the hackles of the traditionalists at the famous ground.
As Kaif and Zaheer Khan were taking the second and winning run, Flintoff literally squatted on the pitch and Giles walked towards him with his hands on his head.

 Despite failures, Kaif's charmed life continues
Jamshedpur: Who better than Mohammed Kaif could be the modern day example of failures being the pillars of success?.

Kaif's assured strokeplay, and composure that belied his age, earned him a Test cap against South Africa when he was only 20.
His first experience of the county circuit was also a mixed bag, some typically dynamic efforts interspersed by a string of low scores.
Kaif's exceptional fielding at cover often overshadowed his poor scores with the bat - including a horror run in 2005-06 - but even that hasn't been enough to win him a permanent place in the Test side.
