England's cricket star and hero of the English team that won the World Cup in 2019, Ben Stokes has become popular in India for a different reason. It is said that Indian skipper Virat Kohli at times uses a cuss word in Hindi that rhymes with Ben Stokes's name.
On Monday, ESPNcricinfo (Twitter handle) shared a photo of the Indian skipper making a phone call. ESPN captioned the image, "If you were on the phone with Virat Kohli, what would you tell him?"

Some cricket fans say Virat being a Delhi ‘munda’ and born to a Punjabi family, using such cuss word is common.
Apart from Ben, who replied to the ESPN tweet, massive number of fans flooded the particular post with hilarious comments, GIFs of Kohli speaking the cuss word and several memes related to it.
