The beauty of cricket is watching the grace and finesse of older players, who defy time with every stroke. In the Rajasthan Royals versus Lucknow Super Giants match, the scene was set for Jonty Rhodes to display his timeless brilliance, as he effortlessly plucked a catch from the outfield.

‌In pursuit of Lucknow Super Giants' formidable total of 197 runs, Rajasthan Royals commenced their innings with a promising start as Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal forged a solid opening partnership, reaching 50/0 within five overs. However, Rajasthan's momentum waned after losing both openers just post the powerplay phase. Following Riyan Parag's departure, Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel assumed control, constructing a resilient 80-run partnership, steering the score to 144/3 by the 15th over. Nonetheless, amid Rajasthan Royals' valiant chase, a remarkable moment unfolded featuring a retired veteran conjuring magic off the field.

On the sixth ball of the 16th over, Bishnoi dragged the length short against Samson who rocks back and pulls it towards the deep mid-wicket region. Although the fielder at the deep backtracked towards the boundary ropes, he failed to grab the marooning over Kookaburra for a six. However, an incident that made the Twitterverse nostalgic was when Jonty Rhodes, positioned just behind the fielder outside the cushions, took the catch with firm hands, rewinding to his past days.

What a take!

Legend for a reason!

Brilliant take!

He's such a class!

Brilliance at it's best!

He needs to come outta retirement now!

What a catch!

Brilliant one!

LOL! Hahahaha!
