England star Ben Stokes once again showed off his witty side through a tweet regarding the usage of a north Indian cuss word by the Indian captain Virat Kohli. It all started when Ben Stokes came across a tweet from ESPNCricinfo in which they asked the followers what would they tell the India skipper if they get a chance to talk to him on phone.

In the photo, Virat Kohli could be seen talking on his mobile phone after the conclusion of the fifth and final T20I against New Zealand on Sunday. Virat Kohli was rested for the game but it did not stop India from winning the game and clean sweep the five-match series.

The Men in Blue thrashed the beleaguered hosts by seven runs to continue their winning run on the tour of New Zealand. India will now take on the hosts in a three-match ODI and two-match T20I series.

Coming to the tweet from Ben Stokes, he hilariously said that he would tell Kohli ‘Ben Stokes’ on phone, tweeting:

“Ben Stokes” if you know you know”

Now we all know what he was referring to. Virat Kohli’s love for that Hindi cuss word which sounds like Ben Stokes is an integral part of his game. Rarely do we see a game in which the India skipper does not use that word. Meanwhile, India came out on top against New Zealand in the final T20I too.

Batting first, India posted 163 for 3 in the allotted 20 overs. Rohit Sharma top-scored for the hosts, scoring 60 before retiring hurt. In reply, New Zealand ended up on 156 for 9.

The Black Caps were off to a disastrous start as they were reduced to 17 for 3. However, a 99-run stand between Tim Seifert and Ross Taylor put them in a strong position before they suffered an almighty collapse to end up on 156 for 9. Both Taylor and Seifert scored fifties but their efforts were not enough to ensure a win for the side.
