Phillips produced an unreal reaction-time to dismiss India's Shubman Gill with an exceptional catch during the final. The video of the catch went viral on social media, sparking a huge debate over the Kiwi star's agility. Even Jonty Rhodes, widely regarded as the greatest fielder of all time, agreed that Phillips was the best fielder of this generation. Despite their defeat in the final, New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner couldn't help but smile when asked about Phillips' heroics in the field.
Former South Africa cricketer Jonty Rhodes has finally weighed in on the ongoing debate about whether New Zealand's Glenn Phillips is a better fielder than him. This comes after Phillips' impressive fielding performances during the Champions Trophy, where he took three stunning catches to dismiss top batters. Despite being 55 years old, Rhodes proved he still has what it takes as he delivered a brilliant effort in the International Masters League.
After a disappointing opening day loss, the Lucknow Super Giants were able to turn their fortunes around with a 21 run victory over the Punjab Kings.

With fielding coach Jonty Rhodes in their dugout, it's clear that the LSG won't be making many errors in their future matches.
