Poor fielding and particularly poor catching was one of the prime reasons that led to Mumbai’s early ouster from the Ranji Trophy last (2025-26) season. And it seems the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) are looking to rectify this in all earnest, having invited former South African cricketer and legendary fielder Jonty Rhodes to help Mumbai players improve their fielding standards.
Catches win matches is a well known adage and Rhodes, who is known for his athleticism and outstanding fielding, spent around an hour at the MCA-BKC academy ground on Saturday afternoon, making fielding look rather simple and easy thanks to his technical inputs.
