Former Indian cricket Mohammad Kaif was trolled over his tweet for showing his sun salutation yoga moves.
Kaif, who is a practicing Muslim, tweeted on December 31 that Surya Namaskar, which is a popular cardiovascular workout, is a complete exercise without any equipment, for which he was criticised by fellow Muslims.

Kaif, who represented India in 13 Tests and 125 ODIs, hits back at the criticism in his tweet later in the day, where he claimed that exercise, be it of any name, has nothing to do with any religion.
