Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes, considered as one of modern cricket’s greatest fielders, made his appearance as an entrepreneur at the Huddle Global summit organised by the Kerala Startup Mission in the capital.
Speaking at the event on Saturday, he recalled many memorable moments from his cricketing days to highlight the importance of practise, focus and innovation to young entrepreneurs.
Mr. Rhodes said that his focus on fielding was rooted in his desire to do better than others on the field, and it eventually became an innovation that he brought to the team. He put in quality practise to perfect his fielding and his performance really changed the way the teams started looking at fielding as an equal component, like batting and bowling.
