New Delhi: As big hitter of the cricket ball Ben Stokes played a whirlwind knock of 258-run against South Africa on Sunday, the cricket fraternity took to Twitter to salute the batsman for his entertaining batting display.
Here are the tweets which speak volumes about the impeccable innings played by the England all-rounder and makes him the second fastest double centurion in the history of Test cricket.
