Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has sparked lighthearted conversation among fans after jokingly describing himself as “much poorer” than former teammates Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh, highlighting the close bond the trio continues to share years after their playing days.

Kaif, Sehwag, and Yuvraj were part of India’s core group during the early 2000s, a period that marked the transition of Indian cricket into a more aggressive and confident era. Speaking in a humorous tone, Kaif remarked that Sehwag and Yuvraj “always have Rs 5–6 crore with them,” underlining the stark contrast in their post-cricket financial standing while making it clear the comment was made in jest.

The three cricketers forged strong friendships during their time together in the Indian dressing room. One of the most memorable moments involving Kaif and Yuvraj came during the 2002 NatWest Series final against England at Lord’s, where their match-winning partnership helped India chase down a challenging target, producing one of the most iconic victories in Indian cricket history.

While Mohammad Kaif’s international career effectively ended after 2006, both Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag went on to enjoy extended and highly successful runs with the national team. Sehwag became one of India’s most destructive openers, while Yuvraj emerged as a key match-winner in limited-overs cricket.

Yuvraj Singh’s legacy was further cemented by his crucial contributions to India’s triumphs in the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Kaif’s remarks, though humorous, offered fans a glimpse into the camaraderie and mutual respect that continues to exist among members of India’s golden generation, long after their retirement from international cricket.
