Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif was one of the finest fielders during his playing days. He used to set a high fielding standard among his teammates.

Just like his fielding, Kaif is sure he would have been a great wicket-keeper as well, Similarly, he added that his ex-teammate MS Dhoni might have made a name for himself with his fielding, if not as a wicket-keeper. 

Kaif backed his claim by sharing a throwback video when he and Dhoni pulled off a run-out against South Africa. The clip is from the third ODI between India and South Africa at Cape Town back in 2006.

Shaun Pollock wanted to steal a quick single off Harbhajan Singh's delivery. A young Dhoni behind the wickets and Kaif at short-leg was alert as they ran Pollock out.

"I guess MSD would have made a good fielder no matter where he stood on the field...And maybe, I wouldn't have been a bad wicketkeeper either ;)", Kaif wrote.

India had lost that match by 106 runs. Dhoni scored 55 runs in the match and Kaif was bowled by Pollock on just 10 runs.
