The 28-year-old also said that it used to be funny but it is not anymore.
New Delhi: England all-rounder Ben Stokes on Sunday came out with a witty tweet regarding Virat Kohli's north Indian curse word, saying the cricketer uses the phrase rather than his name.

"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," Stokes tweeted.
