Jonty Rhodes uses Royal Enfield Hunter to poke fun at South African team’s recent loss against India

The victory of the Indian cricket team in the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023 has fans ecstatic. Meanwhile, South African cricket legend Jonty Rhodes, who currently resides in Goa with his family, seized the opportunity to humorously comment on his country’s loss in the game. Rhodes used his Royal Enfield Hunter 350 as an analogy.

I reckon this @royalenfield #Hunter of mine has a lot in common with the Proteas cricket team after yesterday’s @cricketworldcup match – nicely cleaned up 😉 #SolidIndia #KingKohli #goalife pic.twitter.com/ACJKxWYWGt

The image shows both of Rhodes’ children cleaning the Hunter 350 with a water pipe and a cleaning cloth. The motorcycle looks as good as new after the cleaning session, but it was the caption of the picture that caught the attention of many netizens.

In the caption of the picture of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 shared by Jonty Rhodes, the cricketer remarked that he believes his Hunter 350, after the wash, has much in common with the Proteas (South Africa) cricket team, which was also cleaned up by India in the World Cup match. He also included a hashtag to praise Virat Kohli for his remarkable century in the game.

Another hashtag added by Jonty Rhodes in his Twitter post was about celebrating his “Goa Life.” Rhodes, widely regarded as one of the greatest fielders in cricket history, has been living in Goa for some time now. On his social media profiles, he shares pictures and videos of his relaxed life in Goa, sometimes featuring him riding his Royal Enfield Hunter 350 on the streets.

For a cricket legend like Jonty Rhodes, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 appears as a rather modest motorcycle, as cricketers are generally known for their preference for luxury cars and sports bikes. Offered in two variants – Retro and Metro, the Hunter 350 is Royal Enfield’s most affordable motorcycle available in India. The Hunter 350 shares its single-cylinder, air-cooled, 349cc J-Series engine with other motorcycles from the brand, including the Bullet 350, Classic 350, and Meteor 350.
