Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes, known for his love for India and all things Indian, recently took to X to clear up a viral picture of him that was circulating with the claim that he didn't even bother to offer food to his "driver."
In his post, Jonty clarified that the man seen in the picture is not even a driver and that he was in fact a stranger who offered Jonty his favourite dish, which the cricketer gladly accepted. Rhodes also added that he paid for the food and used the hashtag "#shameonyou" for the user who commented without knowing the truth of the picture.
"I have been sitting on this reply for a couple of days. The gentleman at my table is a stranger to me, and my driver was taking the picture. He did not eat, just ordered for me some of his favourite food. He just had tea, and yes, I did pay for it #shameonyou," said Rhodes in his post.
X users commented on the post in their own witty ways. One user said "Waiting for someone to ask why Jonty didn't offer food to a total stranger." Another commented "One should not comment without knowing the complete truth. It's not required to have an opinion on everything."
One user said "Sir you are a legend and please don’t pay attention to these online trolls." Another grateful fan said "Sir, you are our childhood hero. Every time someone dived to catch a ball in gully cricket, all others used to say 'he jumped like Jonty rhodes'.. Thanks for visiting our city and trying our dishes..,"
The moment was made even more special by the presence of other former cricketers Jonty Rhodes, Syed Kirmani and Monty Panesar, who were travelling in the Vande Bharat Express. All in all, it was a moment of glory for the former cricketer, and a moment of joy for the fans.
