NEW DELHI: Jonty Rhodes‘ charisma and charm makes him a beloved cricketer globally and he serves as an inspiration for cricketers and fans alike. However, Lucknow Super Giants fielding coach faced a backlash on social media on Tuesday for his post ridiculing a LSG fan.
A passionate Lucknow supporter had been persistently expressing his desire on X for a LSG jersey. He vowed to continue his posts until he received a response from the team.
But the fan’s demand did not go well with Rhodes.
“Brother, get a life. Many thanks for the support, we appreciate it. But wow, come on….”, Rhodes replied to a post.

Rhodes’ act left netizens irked as they started slamming the former South African player.

Earlier, Rhodes has lauded Ravi Bishnoi‘s stunning catch against Gujarat Titans in Sunday’s match of the IPL 2024.
Bishnoi went high in the air and took a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Kane Williamson which made the home crowd stand and applaud Bishnoi’s magic moment.
“The added difficulty is when you are bowling and you follow through, to react like that and catch the ball I think the great thing about that for me was he went backwards and gave himself time. Often when you see it late you often go across the ball and you have a hard hand,” Rhodes said in a video posted by IPL on X.
