'Test match ese jito ki char log aapki tareef kre' - Fans react as Ben Stokes sets strange captaincy record after comprehensive win over Ireland in one-off Test

The England Test skipper and veteran all-rounder Ben Stokes has registered his name in the record books of cricket with a very strange and one of its own kind of record to his name. Notably, Stokes was recently in action as Skipper with the national side of England in the recently-concluded one-off Test match against Ireland.

Both teams played this match at The Lord’s in London where the hosts England emerged victorious easily by a big margin of 10 wickets.

Coming back to Stokes, he happened to become the first-ever skipper in the history of cricket to win a match for a team without even batting, bowling, and wicketkeeping in the game.

Subsequently, a section of cricket fans found it as an opportunity to come up with some hilarious and interesting reactions on the micro-blogging site Twitter. They also took a dig at Stokes by recalling his stint with the Chennai Super Kings who won the title in the recently-concluded edition of the Indian Premier League 2023.

Here’s how fans reacted:
