Virat Kohli is known for outstanding batting and tremendous fielding. He’s the leading run-scorer (21,788) amongst the current slot of active players in international cricket.
Kohli scored maximum runs (20,960) in the past decade (2009-2019) and grabbed maximum catches in the period (234). Apart from these credentials, the Indian-captain is also famous for his high-voltage attitude in the outfield. Due to this, the 31-year-old is often found using some cuss words.
There is a specific cuss word in Hindi, which bears similarities to the pronunciation of Ben Stokes’ name. So, whenever the term is used, it’s the English cricketer, who ends up getting mentions on social media. Stokes knows about it as well, and once he jokingly threatened to delete his Twitter account.
This time the England all-rounder didn’t wait for anyone else to draw similarities with Kohli’s famous cuss word and his name as he replied to a question posted by ESPNcricinfo on Twitter.
