Jonty Rhodes - cricket and hockey
Known for his terrific fielding skills, Jonty Rhodes became a legend in cricket solely on this talent. He was not a great at batting or bowling, but when it came to his fielding, he set high standards and there was no one who could come even near to him. He can credit his agility to playing hockey. He was a hockey player for South Africa before he took up cricket. He was part of the South African hockey team that failed to qualify for 1992 Olympics and then before 1996 games, he got injured and was ruled out of the squad.
