Jonty Rhodes is regarded as the greatest fielder in the sport of cricket. He is currently the head coach of Swedish national cricket team.
Fielding is one of the most important aspects in the sport of cricket, which, if executed properly, would result in winning at least half of the match. And, when it comes to fielding, the only name that can come to one's mind is South African superman Jonty Rhodes.
Rhodes, who was primarily a batsman, incidentally, rose to fame for his famous fielding, rather than his batting. There were numerous occasions when despite his inconsistent batting, he served the team owing to his exquisite fielding.
Recently, ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Rhodes, who is the fielding coach for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), introduced a drill to display how to take catches. What was enchanting to watch that Rhodes pulled off a one-handed stunner, even at the age of 51.
