The live wire on the field, former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes, became a proud father during the 2015 edition of the IPL in Mumbai. Jonty Rhodes is a part of the coaching staff of the Mumbai Indians. The baby girl was born in Santacruz and Rhodes decided to name his daughter as India Jeanne Rhodes. Jonty was quick to admit his love for India and quoted ,“I have spent a lot of time here [in India]. What I love about India is that it’s a rich mix of culture, heritage and tradition. It is a very spiritual country, very forward-thinking nation. I really like that combination. You have to have a good balance of life. With the name like India, she will have the best of both worlds and that sort of balance.”
