Former South Africa player Jonty Rhodes is regarded as the best fielder in the history of cricket. He is still remembered for his amazing dive catches and run-outs. Coming in as a middle-order batsman and despite scoring more than 8,000 international runs, Rhodes is more famous for his exceptional fielding skills.
Rhodes worked with the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians for nine years as their fielding coach. However, he will be seen with a different team in the upcoming season as he has been roped by Kings XI Punjab as their fielding coach.
Meanwhile, during a Q/A session on Twitter, the best fielder of the cricket world was asked by a fan who is his favourite fielder. And, the former cricketer gave a quite diplomatic answer as he named seven cricketers in his list of favourite fielders.
Former South Africa batsman Herschelle Gibbs was the first name, then came the name of former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, Indian all-rounders Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja. AB de Villiers, Martin Guptill and Kieron Pollard were also in Rhodes’ list.
