Watch: Mohammad Kaif takes stunning catches during Legends League match vs Asia Lions
Mohammad Kaif on Saturday turned back the clock as he pulled off not one but two sensational catches in the Legends League Eliminator match between Asia Lions and India Maharajas.
The first one was when he dived in the air and took a one-handed catch to dismiss Upul Tharanga off the 8th over which was being bowled Pragyan Ojha while for the second one, he pulled off a running dive to take a marvelous catch which sent Mohammad Hafeez back to the pavilion.
In the match, Tharanga top scored for with 50 runs of 31 balls while Hafeez and Asghar Afghan scored 38 and 34 respectively as the Lions posted a mammoth 191 runs. Stuart Binny and Pragyan Ojha took 2 wickets each.

Chasing the target, Maharajas captain Gautam Gambhir (32) and Robin Uthappa (15) started steadily but both would fall in quick succession. From there, they began losing wickets at regular intervals as Sohail Tanvir, Abdur Razzak and Hafeez spun a web around them.
The Maharajas would ultimately skittle out for just 106 runs in 16.4 overs. The Lions will next play the World Giants in the final of the tournament on Monday.
The last time these two met was on Thursday, when the Giants raced away with a 20-run victory leaving the Lions to qualify via the Eliminator.
