Jonty Rhodes Names His Daughter 'India Jeanne Rhodes'

 Jonty Rhodes Family
 Jonty Rhodes says this country's rich culture prompted wife Melanie and him to name their daughter India.
 "With the name like India, she will have the best of both worlds and that sort of balance," an excited Rhodes said
Jonty Rhodes seems to have made a life-long connection with India after he named his newborn daughter 'India Jeanne Rhodes'.
The legendary South African fielder enjoys as much fan following as Indian cricketers after joining Mumbai Indians as its fielding coach.
Now, by naming his daughter India, he has only taken his love for his 'second-home' a notch higher.
Speaking to mid-day after a Mumbai Indians training session at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday, Rhodes (45) explained why he chose to name his daughter India.
"I have spent a lot of time here. 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.

Note

West Indies batting legend Brian Lara named her daughter Sydney after scoring his first Test century in the Australian city, while former New Zealand pacer Dion Nash also named his daughter India.
