South African fielding legend Jonty Rhodes, who set the world record for taking the most catches (five) in an ODI against West Indies at the Brabourne Stadium in the 1993 Hero Cup match, has credited batting great Virat Kohli for bringing in fitness and a sharp fielding culture to the Indian team.

“(MS) Dhoni was certainly somebody who showed [the way]. He had a lot of senior players that maybe weren’t going to focus that much on the fielding but with Kohli [when he was captain], he insisted that you had to be fit because, to be a good fielder, you obviously have to be fairly robust in the field and athletic, so fitness levels were important. So, we’ve seen this evolution in the Indian team that had one or two great fielders to now a team where there’s nobody to hide,” Rhodes told mid-day on the sidelines of European T20 Premier League team Rotterdam Dockers’s jersey launch at the Cricket Club of India on Tuesday.
