IND vs NZ: “Better Than Jonty Rhodes”: Harbhajan Singh Left in Awe of Glenn Phillips’ Unreal Catch to Dismiss Virat Kohli
Harbhajan Singh believes Glenn Phillips' stunning catch to dismiss Virat Kohli was even better than Jonty Rhodes' legendary grabs.
Glenn Phillips pulled off an unbelievable catch to dismiss Virat Kohli in India’s final group-stage match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Kohli, playing his 300th ODI, tried to cut the ball past the point fielder, but Phillips had other plans. He jumped in the air and grabbed the ball with one hand, shocking everyone, including Kohli.

Harbhajan Singh’s Big Statement on Phillips’ Catch
Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh was highly impressed by Phillips’ catch. He even said that it was better than Jonty Rhodes’ famous flying catch.
“There is a famous photograph of Jonty Rhodes taking a one-handed catch while flying in the air. But what Glenn Phillips did today was even better,” Harbhajan said.
Navjot Singh Sidhu also compared Phillips to Jonty Rhodes, who is considered one of the best fielders in cricket history.
Phillips has taken many brilliant catches in his career. He makes difficult catches look easy and is one of the best fielders in world cricket today. His effort against India was another example of his incredible fielding skills.
