'Dhoni Had Quick Hands But Foakes Has Quickest Hands In The Game', Says Alec Stewart
Alec Stewart: Former England wicketkeeper Alec Stewart believes though the legendary MS Dhoni had quick hands as a keeper, Ben Foakes possesses the quickest hands in the game currently.
In the first two Tests against India, Foakes has earned plaudits for his exceptional wicket keeping skills in conditions which present a tough examination for overseas keepers. As of now, he’s taken six catches and effected two stumpings on tour of India so far, including taking two superb catches off leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed's bowling at Visakhapatnam.
"He does things that no one else can do. His hand speed is second to none. MS Dhoni had quick hands but he (Foakes) has the quickest hands in the game and the ball stays in them," said Stewart to The Times.
