Especially when it comes to one of his more favourite phrases.
Virat Kohli is a very outspoken captain. Whether it’s a celebration, an admonishment, an exclamation of surprise, or just part of a general discussion, he makes sure he’s heard.
Wiser people than us have tried to decrypt it. But the general consensus on Twitter is that he’s saying the name of England cricketer, Ben Stokes.
No, seriously.
He can’t even say Ben stokes properly. #Shame https://t.co/68vz2xg0Gt

Anyway, Ben Stokes himself seems to have had enough of this and made his sentiments known.
I may delete Twitter just so I don’t have to see another tweet reading “He’s saying Ben Stokes”(when he’s clearly not😆)in reply to a video of Virat saying you know what 🤦♂️🤦♂️it was funny the first 100,000 times.

Funny? I don’t think anyone was trying to be funny, Ben.
Don't believe if someone says otherwise.. he clearly said Ben Stokes .. nothing else
