During the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025, New Zealand fielder Glenn Phillips took some stunning catches, including a one-handed stunner to dismiss Virat Kohli. This led to comparisons between him and arguably the greatest fielder ever, Jonty Rhodes. Harbhajan Singh even claimed that Phillips’ effort was better than Rhodes’ famous one-handed catch.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing International Masters League T20, 55-year-old Jonty Rhodes proved why he is the greatest fielder of all time, showing that no comparisons should ever be made with him. On March 7, during the match between Australia Masters and South Africa Masters, Jonty Rhodes defied age with a sensational fielding effort. In the 19th over of Australia Masters’ innings, Shane Watson struck a straight shot that seemed destined for the boundary.

Positioned at long-off, the 55-year-old Rhodes sprinted across the field and executed a stunning full-stretch dive to intercept the ball. The effort left the crowd in awe, while the stunned commentators erupted in praise for the legendary fielder.

South African great Jonty Rhodes’ stunning effort saved three runs for his team, but the Proteas bowlers had a forgettable outing in this match. Australia Masters’ openers Shane Watson and Callum Ferguson dominated from the start, stitching together a massive 186-run partnership. Watson was the star of the innings, smashing an unbeaten 122 off just 61 balls as the Kangaroos posted a mammoth total of 260.

Chasing such a daunting target felt like climbing Mount Everest for South Africa Masters, as they crumbled for just 123 runs in 17 overs. Hashim Amla was the lone fighter, top-scoring with 30 runs. With only one win in four matches, South Africa Masters now face an uphill battle to secure a semi-final spot with just one game remaining.

Meanwhile, Australia Masters climbed to third place in the points table with their second win in four games. India Masters remain at the top, followed by Sri Lanka Masters in second place.
