Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes turned 51 on Monday and his former Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians was among the first ones to wish him on social media.

“Happy birthday to our former fielding coach and a forever fan favourite in Mumbai, @jontyrhodes8,” Mumbai Indians wrote along with a photo of arguably the greatest-fielder ever.

Rhodes spent as many as 9 seasons with Mumbai Indians as their fielding coach. The man who is credited to have revolutionalised fielding in limited-overs cricket was also wished by the Cricket World Cup’s official Twitter handle.

“Happy Birthday Jonty Rhodes, WATCH his superman run-out from the 1992 CWC against Pakistan”.
