Punjab had set a big target in the Mumbai vs Punjab match to be held on Wednesday evening. Due to the excellent partnership of captain Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan, Punjab gave a mammoth target of 198 runs. Chasing which Mumbai’s team could score only 186 runs. In this way Mumbai had to face the fifth defeat. After the match, the players and support staff of both the teams were shaking hands with each other. Then Punjab’s fielding coach Jonty Rhodes did something that all the players and spectators present in the stadium could not stop laughing.
Rhodes bent down to touch his feet
South African legend and world’s best fielder Jonty Rhodes bowed down to touch Sachin Tendulkar’s feet. Sachin Tendulkar immediately bent down and grabbed his hand. For a few seconds, Rhodes tried to touch his feet but Tendulkar did not even let him touch. That is the beauty of cricket. Jonty Rhodes is 52 years old and Sachin Tendulkar is 48 years old. We have such a culture that the elder never touches the feet of the younger, but in the religion of cricket, Sachin is the eldest and he is even called the God of cricket.
Roads were associated with Mumbai
Jonty Rhodes was involved in the support staff of Mumbai Indians for a long time. He was the fielding coach of the team. He left Mumbai Indians in 2017. Jonty Rhodes is currently the fielding coach of the Punjab team. Sachin Tendulkar is the mentor of the Mumbai team. He talked to Punjab coach Anil Kumble for a while and then it was Jonty Rhodes’ turn. Instead of shaking hands with Sachin, Rhodes tried to salute Sachin by touching his feet. Sachin immediately stopped them.
