Jonty Rhodes

Born
Rhodes's full-length dive to run out Inzamam-ul-Haq at the 1992 World Cup, flying horizontally into the stumps, is the image that changed fielding. At backward point he was so quick that batters stopped attempting singles into his area, and teams began picking specialist fielders and hiring fielding coaches. He made fielding a selection criterion, not an afterthought.
