‘Our bowling ain’t world class?’: Kaif slammed for taking ‘dig’ at Bumrah with ‘Bazball’ tweet

Powered by the irresistible bowling attack, South Africa scripted a sensational win over England to snap the home team's winning run. This was the first defeat for the England Test side under the new red-ball leadership duo of coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes. Kagiso Rabada starred with the ball and his five-wicket haul saw England being reduced to 165 in the first innings. In response, South Africa notched up 326 and earned a sizeable lead.

In the second innings, Anrich Nortje and Marco Jansen combined superbly to bundle England out for 149 as the Proteas won by an innings and 12 runs. After this win, for India batter Mohammad Kaif lauded South Africa with a ‘Bazball’ tweet and questioned the potency of the Indian bowling attack.

“South Africa shows that Bazball doesn't work against world-class bowling attack with variety and a sharp captain who sets smart fields. #SAvsENG,” Kaif had tweeted.

It is quite apparent that Kaif also took at Jasprit Bumrah, who was the stand-in captain for India since both Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul were out with their respective injuries. Fans on Twitter were not too impressed with this tweet and they even took a dig at the former Indian batter:
