Ben Stokes has a hilarious take on Sharma aping Kohli's cuss word

While cricket is known as a gentleman’s game, players often use rough language on the field. At times, it is very difficult for them to contain their emotions. The Indian skipper Virat Kohli is one such cricketer who is very expressive. Cricket fans have noted on several occasions that he used a particular cuss word, which rhymed with the name of the England all-rounder Ben Stokes. Incidentally, it was Rohit Sharma who used the same word for the non-striker Cheteshwar Pujara, who declined a single on the fourth day of the first Test match against South Africa (SA) on Saturday. At that juncture in the game, India was looking to accelerate to leave a sizeable enough target for SA to chase. Stokes did not fail to notice this and wrote a quirky tweet in response.

This is not the only occasion when the England all-rounder has commented on the usage of this cuss word. In June 2019, he jokingly remarked that he would leave Twitter as he was bored of hearing Kohli taking his name repeatedly. At the same time, he mentioned that he found it funny on numerous occasions.
