3 min readUpdated: Apr 18, 2026 11:37 AM IST In a moment that has now gone viral from the Indian Premier League’s 2026 season, Shreyas Iyer took one of the best catches of the league’s 19-year history to dismiss Hardik Pandya at the Wankhede Stadium. The reaction from Mumbai players like Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma immediately after Iyer sent the ball back inside the boundary ropes with a superhuman aerial effort was enough to demonstrate just how impressive the catch was. Even though cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was among the many former players gushing about the catch, Iyer joked that no one was patting him on the back for that catch. Now, Iyer has received praise for the catch from the authority in all matters of fielding: Jonty Rhodes. In a post on X, Rhodes said that he had felt like the ‘father of fielding’ for a long time, but these days when he sees efforts like Iyer’s, he begins to feel like the ‘grandfather of fielding’ instead. “Watching Shreyas Iyer perform that acrobatic …

“Ahead Of Jonty Rhodes”: Ashish Nehra Picks India Star As Best Fielder ‘Then And Now’

Published by Webster

The IPL 2025 is in full swing. While batters and bowlers have given some terrific performance, the fielders too have been quite athletic on the field.  There have been some terrific catches while some of the run outs (especially MS Dhoni’s run out of Abdul Samad in a match against Lucknow Super Giants) have been quite electric. Ahead of the match between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals, coach Ashish Nehra was asked about the best fielder according to him. “Ravindra Jadeja”, Nehra replied. The anchor then asked: “Then and now?” “I have seen a lot of big fielders, some are good in the outfield, some inside, like Jonty Rhodes, he is the best inside the circle. If you speak about all-round fielding, AB de Villiers’ name comes in, but even Andrew Symonds and Jadeja. But, I would put Jadeja ahead of them. It’s not because of his age. When he came in 2008-09 and now, he is still the same. It is his fitness, I don’t know what he eats. If he is …

WWE superstar John Cena shocked the fans when he betrayed Cody Rhodes and joined hands with the Rock a few weeks ago. The WWE universe was taken aback by his decision to turn ‘heel’ during his farewell tour with the company. On this week’s Raw, Cena came out to address the situation when he was interrupted by Cody, who walked out to an entire arena singing his entry music. What followed was a verbal feud between the two before Cena tried to attack Rhodes but instead got nailed by the latter’s finisher move, the ‘Cross-Rhodes’. Just like Eminem in the final battle of 8 Mile, Rhodes proceeded to list out everything Cena could use to make fun of him. He mentioned his lisp, his former gimmick Stardust, and his American Nightmare tattoo. Cody said, “Perhaps, I’m struggling with the idea that Superman is really dead, which would bring me to my next point. I think for the last two weeks you have lied to this audience. I know you cared about me at one point, …
