Fielders can either save you 10 runs, or earn you a wicket with their efforts -- This is a famous saying in cricket. No matter how much the sport is about the batsmen and the bowlers, fielders play an incredibly crucial role.

Throughout the years, cricket has produced insane number of quality fielders. Right from the likes of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Glenn Maxwell in the present times to the likes of Ricky Ponting, AB de Villiers, Yuvraj Singh in the past, a host of players made their name because of their ability in the field.

Though, among all, one name which has always stood out is that of Jonty Rhodes. The South African, during his playing days was regarded as the best fielder in the world, and he was so good that fans still consider as the best to have ever been.

While he was overall a sensational fielder, one effort of his which made him legend is still remembered by the cricket faithfuls. The ICC on Friday shared a video of the run-out of former Pakistan PM Inzamam ul Haq from 1992, which came about after 'Superman' Rhodes ran 10-15 yards and dismantled the stumps.

After reliving that incredible run-out, Twitterati gushed about how good Rhodes was, not just in this very dismissal, but overall in his career.
