Ben Stokes is celebrating his 29th birthday today! The England superstar is one of the finest all-rounder the cricket world has witnessed in the past few years. In his cricketing career so far, he has had a brilliant run on the field including the famous Ashes victory for England in the third Test over Australia at Edgbaston and the ICC World Cup 2019 final.

Amid all the greetings and wishes from fans across the world, Team India captain Virat Kohli's name is also being brought up by Indian cricket fans as they extend greetings. Ben Stokes has a huge fan following in the Asian sub-continent, especially in India.

The reason for Virat Kohli's name popping up on Ben's birthday, is none other than the skipper, who is known to use cuss words on the field quite often. While, one cuss word accidentally resembles the way 'Ben Stokes' is said; because of this, the entire subject of the cuss word has became a big joke on social media. 

Once in 2019, the discussion on the cuss word went so viral, that even Stokes took to Twitter and broke the internet with his reaction on it. He tweeted saying, "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.”

Ben Stokes, is loved by Indian fans because of his association with Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals.

Check out few greetings that fans have post on his birthday:
