Jonty Rhodes Complete Bio & Career

Fielding, one of the three aspects in cricket was not given as much importance as batting or bowling, until this man showed up. Jonty announced himself on the world stage when he flung in the air and ran-out Inzamam-Ul-Haq in the 1992 World Cup game against Pakistan. He was very agile, thanks to playing hockey in his younger days, and made the backward point region a very important position in the field. 
 
For the first few years, he made it to the team only because of his fielding prowess but he soon realised that he had to contribute with the bat as well. A complete change in his batting technique, helped him improve his skills as a batsman. An unfortunate fracture on the finger during the 2003 World Cup cut-short his career. He soon retired and went onto play for Gloucestershire in County Cricket. In a career of more than 10 years, he represented South Africa in 245 ODIs and 52 Tests. He scored 5935 and 2532 runs respectively with an average of 35 in both the formats. 
 
Post retirement, he took up coaching job and had coached South African National team and IPL side Mumbai Indians as a fielding coach. He has also done cricket commentary post retirement.
