(Watch) Wicket Keeper Ben Foakes crashes onto the stumps while collecting the thrown, IND vs ENG 1ST Test.
The 1st day of the IND vs ENG 1st Test witnessed England grappling with the bat, managing to post a modest total of 246 runs. The Indian team, taking to the field in the third session, encountered a moment of levity amidst the competitive atmosphere. In an unexpected turn of events during India’s innings, the spotlight shifted to England’s wicketkeeper, Ben Foakes.
As Rohit Sharma deftly flicked the ball towards the deep square leg during the third over, Yashasvi Jaiswal, casually completing a single, didn’t anticipate any immediate threat of a run-out. Meanwhile, from the deep square leg region, Ben Foakes sprinted energetically to collect the ball, diligently keeping his focus on the approaching delivery. However, in his pursuit, Foakes inadvertently neglected to check his direction, leading to an unexpected stumble and crashing onto the stumps.
