Ben Stokes Takes A Dig At Sunil Gavaskar For His Commentary In DCvsPBKS

Ben Stokes, the England all-rounder, is back to his country after getting his finger injured in his first match against Punjab Kings (earlier Kings XI Punjab). He is a member of the IPL team Rajasthan Royals and he got his index finger injured while trying to take the catch of Punjab Kings batsman Chris Gayle. The England and Wales Cricket Board has also confirmed that Ben Stokes won’t be playing for almost three months.

Ben Stokes is no longer a part of the IPL 2021 but it doesn’t mean that he is not keeping a track of the IPL matches as recently, he trolled Sunil Gavaskar after the former Indian cricketer slammed Kagiso Rabada during commentary for not using bouncers in a proper manner.

It happened in the match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings. Kagiso Rabada was bowling the 11^th over of the innings and Punjab Kings batsmen KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal were on the crease. In this over, Mayank Agarwal hit a six by playing a pull shot while Rahul also hit Rabada for a six by playing a hook shot after which Gavaskar criticized Rabada for not using bouncers in an effective manner.

Ben Stokes trolled Gavaskar by tweeting,

“Commentator: “Such a poor bouncer,if you want to bowl a bouncer it must be over Off Stump”

REPLAY: bouncer line directly over Off Stump 

Me: 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️”

An emotional farewell had been given to Ben Stokes by the Rajasthan franchise as they gifted him RR jersey with his father’s name on it. The RR skipper Sanju Samson gave Ben Stokes the jersey with Gerard Stokes printed on it. Just to inform, Ben’s father took his last breath in December after he lost the battle to Cancer.

Get well soon, Ben Stokes.
