Lucknow Super Giants fielding coach Jonty Rhodes was always known for his fantastic skills on the ground. The South African team of that time were always reliant on Jonty to save runs on the field. He took unbelievable catches and produced magnificent run outs. Although he is past his prime and has left cricket for quite a few years now, he showed on Saturday that he has still got it. Rhodes caught a fantastic catch on the boundary line. Although the ball went for a six, his catch reminded the cricket lovers of the bygone days when Rhodes could turn a match on its head with his fielding.
LSG on Saturday lost against table toppers Rajasthan Royals. LSG posted a target of 197, which was achieved by RR with an over to spare. However, Jonty stole the show when he caught a wonderfully measured catch in the boundary line.
