10 fastest runners in the cricket world

#7 Jonty Rhodes

The big daddy of modern day fielding, Jonty was just too fast to be a cricketer of his era. He was so fast that he pulled the entire cricketing world to start aspiring to be agile and swift. While most remember him for his inexplicable and acrobatic catches, he first made a mark on the world stage by running Inzamam out in the World Cup of 1992 (Inzi was a much faster version of himself then).

His speed (nothing short of a world class sprinter) and willingness to put his body to use saw the beginning of a cult. Watch a Jonty Rhodes innings and you will be surprised if there aren’t extremely fast runs and scrambles. It might not be an exaggeration to say that Rhodes was an athlete who chose to play cricket.
