When Ben Stokes isn’t angry or over-passionate, he can be a really funny guy. He has proven over the years that he is a top player. He has helped England win a lot of series across the globe, along with their first World Cup title. With that being said, his funny moments keep going viral from time to time. One such moment was shared around on Social Media yet again.

There have been some heated and funny moments in this series already. The series has lived up to the fans’ expectations, with it tied at 1-1 and the final match deciding the winner. This was something that we saw in the T20 series as well. With that being said, there was another funny moment in this last game between the two teams.

Well, it was good to see the players having fun. In recent times, we have seen there to be more heated fights than such hilarious stuff. With that being said, the competitive nature of the two teams has been nothing short of brilliant. The desire to win has been clearly showcased by both sides.
No complaints coming in with regards to that. The fans will be pleased with the cricket that they have seen. The Indian fans, on the other hand, will be delighted with the fact that their team is winning these closely-contested series.
Team India Set To Win The Match And The Series Yet Again?
After making a total of 329 for the loss of all ten wickets in 48.2 overs and setting a target of 330, Team India looked in the driving seat when the visitors came out to bat. They got some quick wickets and kept getting breakthroughs at the right intervals. This disrupted their opponents’ chances of getting anything from the match.
Keeping that in mind, Ben Stokes and co. failed to make any real impact with the bat. They were fine with the ball, as they bowled out the Indian side before the 50-over mark. The English bowlers also gave away lesser runs than in the previous game. That was another big win-win. However, the batsmen let them down yet again, as they were doing right through this tour at times.
With that being said, though Ben Stokes did have a laugh, it was Virat Kohli and co. who had the last laugh!! A few good calls right through the tour got Team India over the line. Though some may criticize the Indian skipper for his certain calls, he got the job done against the top T20 team in the world and the 50-over champions. That is a decent feat to achieve though it was at home. Let’s see what happens on the tour away later this year!!
