Jonty Rhodes' legendary fielding efforts during his playing days has made him an immortal figure in world of cricket. After his playing days, he has done a lot to impart those amazing skills in the next generation of cricketers and currently he is the fielding coach of LSG in IPL 2024. 

So, when Krishnappa Gowtham took a stunning backward running catch of Russell in the 54th match of IPL 2024 between LSG and KKR, Jonty could not stop himself from getting up in dugout and applauding Gowtham in his usual cool avatar.

It was the second delivery of the 15th over and Naveen-ul-Haq bowled a slower fullish delivery, outside off. Russell went for a wild slog across the line but got a big top edge behind the extra cover region. 

Krishnappa at extra cover ran all the way back, keeping his eyes on the ball and completed the catch with a brilliant dive, leaving everyone on the ground awestruck including his fielding coach.
