India have been in superb form of late. When it comes to the longest format of the game, they look like a complete side. After losing the three-match Test series against South Africa earlier this year, they now beat Sri Lanka at home.

The two-match Test series turned out to be a rather one-sided affair, as the Rohit Sharma-led side proved just too good for the visitors. Thus, several people appreciated India for their performance. Many people spoke about the team's dominance in red-ball cricket.
Mohammad Kaif also took to Twitter to appreciate the team. However, he, unfortunately, landed in unwanted controversy. In his Tweet, he praised the team for "suddenly" looking like a strong unit under Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid.
"KL, Rohit, Vihari, Kohli, Iyer, Pant, Jadeja, Ash, Bumrah, Shami and many No.11 options ... Suddenly, it all looks fine. Under Rohit and Dravid, a world beating Test unit is taking shape." read Mohammad Kaif's Tweet. The fact that he gave the credit to Dravid and Sharma, and not Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri, didn't really sit well with many people.

Many fans mentioned the fact that the current team was built the Delhi batter and the 59-year-old. As a matter of fact, some fans also said that all the players mentioned in Kaif's Tweet made their debut during the Kohli-Shastri era. They felt that it was an insult to all the efforts put in by the duo during their time.
In the meanwhile, India will next be seen in whites during their tour to England. As the five-match Test series between the two teams in 2021 was incomplete, the fifth and final Test has been rescheduled, and will be played on July 1. With a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final at stake, each and every game is important for the Asian side.
Here are some of the Tweets which bashed Mohammad Kaif
Currently it looks all fine? When was it not fine! We have won 36 matches and lost just 2 in last 7 years in India. It was even more than fine under Kohli.

This team was already a world beating side under Kohli. "Suddenly all looks fine" because nothing happened to this team. India under Captain Virat Kohli was 2-1 in Eng, 1-0 vs NZ and 1-1 in SA.

It has already taken a great shape under King Virat And Ravi Shastri.

It is Virat Kohli's team.
No one can match to his levels.
Took from 7 to 1 in test rankings.
Let's see how it's gonna be in their so called new era.
Lol Kaif, u forgot the person who took team at 7 at end of 2014 to 1 at end of 2015 and there at that place for 5 years in a row!! He has won U19WC same like u, so can sense ur jealousy! Btw see what Harsha bhogle had to say who didn't play cricket unlike u! 👇 pic.twitter.com/3iFv064Q4k

Current Test team has been made by Virat Kohli , Ravi Shastri.
— Diwakar¹⁸ (@diwakarkumar47) March 15, 2022
From Vihari to Axar , everyone first played under Virat Kohli.
Don't come with favouritism.
What the hell are you talking about,this test team is made by Kohli and Shastri,Rohit just enjoying it and also it was Sri Lanka 😒, Don't treat this like a win against australia or something.Pipe down

Same team was performing and winning under Kohli as well! Nothing new ! Real test would be overseas! Kohli and Shastri somehow failed to sack Pujara/Rahane over last 2-3 years despite their dismal performance! Ashwin was not used as well!

"suddenly, it all looks fine" 🤣🤣🤣

World beating Test unit MIGHT be taking shape under Rohit and Dravid but the team was originally built by Kohli and Shastri!!
