Ben Stokes says he will abuse Virat Kohli in THIS way over their next phone call

A Virat Kohli-less team India trumped New Zealand by 7 runs at the Bay Oval to complete a 5-0 drubbing of the hosts. Ahead of the fifth T20I, the Indian captain kept himself out of the playing XI to give youngsters a chance in the series. In spite of India’s dominative T20I outing, Virat Kohli had a rather quiet series with the bat. The right-hander managed only 105 runs from four outings.

Taking advantage of ICC’s hilarious post, a leading online sports portal also took to the micro-blogging site and posted one of the pictures with a witty caption. In their image, Virat Kohli can be seen talking on a cell phone with a confused look on his face. The caption of their post was a comical query. Take a look at it.

Responding to the portal's hilarious query, England all-rounder Ben Stokes tweeted his own name. He also added the words “if you know, you know” in his reply. Virat Kohli, who started his career with a reputation of being overly-aggressive all the time, often uses a common Indian slur towards his opponents on the field. The slur rhymes with the name ‘Ben Stokes’ and the English cricketer is well aware of the same.
