Video: Did you catch that? KXIP fielding coach Jonty Rhodes shows how it's done

by

The cricket field is not just about five-wicket hauls and scoring centuries. If you've watched enough matches, you'd know that the art of fielding elevates any game to a level higher. After all, catches win matches.

With the Indian Premier League all set to begin on September 19, former Proteas cricketer Jonty Rhodes showed how fielding is really done. After all, he is the Kings XI Punjab's fielding coach. Rhodes tweeted, "Never too old to have fun in the @lionsdenkxip. Can still manage to fly at 51, just the landing is a little bumpy #SaddaPunjab."

The video soon went viral on social media, earning over 95,000 views. Some fans even took a trip down memory lane, reliving Rhodes' international cricket days and the spectacular catches to his name.

Earlier this month, Jonty Rhodes was named the head coach for Sweden. In a statement, the Swedish Cricket Federation said, "Swedish Cricket Federation to invest in junior cricket, high performance and growth through the appointment of South African cricket great, Jonty Rhodes as head coach."

Rhodes added, "This opportunity has come at a perfect time and I am grateful to be able to invest my energies in a completely new environment. I can't wait to get started."
