Former South Africa cricketer Jonty Rhodes credited Virat Kohli with improving India’s fielding standards by creating a strong fitness culture within the team. Speaking in Mumbai, Rhodes also acknowledged MS Dhoni’s role in India's improved fielding standards
Mumbai: South African fielding great Jonty Rhodes has credited Virat Kohli with transforming India into a fitter and more athletic fielding unit, saying the former captain created a culture in which players could no longer afford to be weak links in the field.
Rhodes, whose spectacular run-out of Pakistan’s Inzamam-ul-Haq at the 1992 World Cup became one of cricket’s most iconic fielding moments, said India had evolved from a side with a handful of outstanding fielders into one where every player was expected to contribute.
The legendary fielder was speaking to the media on the sidelines of the jersey unveiling of the Rotterdam Dockers franchise in the European T20 Premier League. Rhodes is the co-owner of the franchise alongside Bollywood actor John Abraham.
Rhodes acknowledged MS Dhoni’s role in India’s transition but felt Kohli took the emphasis on fitness and fielding to another level.
