Mohammad Kaif is known as one of the greatest fielders in Indian cricket history. The 44-year-old former cricketer played 13 Tests and 125 ODIs. He was part of the Indian team that shared the 2002 Champions Trophy title with Sri Lanka. Kaif also played a key role in India’s squad that finished as runners-up in the 2003 ODI World Cup.
The most memorable contribution from Kaif, which has been etched in history and still comes to fans' minds first, is his match-winning knock against England in the 2002 NatWest Series Final. Thanks to Kaif's unbeaten 87 runs, India successfully chased down the mammoth total of 326, winning by two wickets.
Talking about his personal life, he married Pooja Yadav (now Pooja Kaif) in 2011. She is a journalist from Noida. According to media reports, they met in 2007 through mutual friends at a party. At that time, Pooja was working for an event management firm. They connected instantly and soon started dating.
After four years of being together, they decided to take their relationship forward. Their wedding was an intimate affair, attended only by close friends and family. The couple has two children—a son, Kabir, born in 2012, and a daughter, Eva, born in 2017. Pooja is also known as a presenter and anchor in live shows.
However, after marriage, she took a break from work during the birth of their children. Mohammad Kaif was born on 1 December 1980, while Pooja was born on 21 April 1981. Their age difference is just four months and 20 days.
In an interview, Pooja shared that Kaif has always been very understanding and supportive of her career. Similarly, she has been a strong support system for him. When Kaif contested the 2014 general elections from Phoolpur in Uttar Pradesh, Pooja campaigned for him. However, he did not win.
Pooja Kaif is also quite popular on social media. On Instagram, she has over 66,000 followers. She often shares pictures with Kaif and their children. One of the most inspiring things about this couple is how they have maintained their privacy despite Kaif being a former international cricketer and Pooja having a successful career in journalism.
