Foakes is part of the England team in their ongoing five-match series in India. Gilchrist is duly impressed with the glovework of the 31-year-old behind the stumps. Foakes failed to make noticeable contributions with the bat in the first two Test against India but his wicketkeeping definitely helped his side in the series. The player was involved in some crucial breakthroughs by the virtue of his stumping and catching skills.

Former South African batting legend AB de Villiers opened up on Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan's absence from international cricket following a break, saying he himself has been through this situation and there should be proper communication between a player and team management/board. De Villiers' comments come as Ishan continues to remain absent from international cricket, having last played in a T20I match against Australia at home in late November. Following that, he asked team management to release him from the Test squad for the South Africa series happening in December-January due to personal reasons. The 25-year-old was in the T20I squad in South Africa in December 2023 but did not take part in any of the three games. He also did not take part in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.
Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner reached the Rotterdam semi-finals on Friday when injury-plagued Milos Raonic was forced to retire at 1-1 in the second set of their last-eight clash.

Sinner goes on to face Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, who defeated Emil Ruusuvuori of Finland, 7-5, 7-6 (7/4) for a place in Sunday's final. "Obviously this is not the way you want to win the match," said Sinner.
