You just can’t stop a wave initiated on the internet, and once you are gathered around the circle, you’ll be the talk of the town for at least some time running. The trend as of now has grasped the captain of Indian team, Virat Kohli and England all-rounder, Ben Stokes.

There’s no denying the fact that regardless of how often the fans and the media have talk about it, Kohli loves being outspoken. And although his emotions have gotten the best of him at times, the aggression he carries is applauded by several former players.

Speaking of phrases, one particular expression he uses more often – which we’re all aware of – has been the talk since the time he has been on the cricket field. And while many of us don’t really need a check or a proof, some of the fans have decrypted it to a degree that it has actually become quite humourous.

For many of those out there, Kohli is not actually cursing his opposition. Better, he rather calling out ‘Ben Stokes’’ name instead. The wave viral on the internet to an extent that Stokes himself had to come out in public asking for the fans to just let it go, because it was ‘funny the first 100,000 times.’

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.

But for the fans, they have decided to be a part of one of the finest cricketing memes of the generation and this is how they are reacting to it:

“I feel so proud when india takes a wicket because each time they take a wicket, Virat Kohli takes my name. You can find that out by reading his lips” – Ben Stokes
