WATCH: Kumar Dharmasena’s viral Facebook story featuring Ben Stokes dismissal

Along with Indian players, there have also been certain England players who have performed brilliantly in the Test series. Zack Crawley and Tom Hartley have been the groundbreaking performers for the team. However, there have also been some England who have not lived up to their potential at all. The likes of Joe Root might have got a 100 in the 4th Test, but he has still not been at his consistent best in the series and Jonny Bairstow even with his talent has been disappointing as well.

Even though these are some of the big examples, the one player who hasn’t really up to the mark is England skipper Ben Stokes. Stokes has not had the best of games in this series. Stokes has only been averaging above 24 in this series with only 197 runs from his 4 games. This has been an underwhelming series for the 2019 World Cup hero filled with low scores and failure to capitalise on great starts.

Funny Story by Dharmasena

Kumar Dharmasena is one of the most experienced umpires in the game right now. He had to also face a lot of drama in the middle, especially among the England players. There was a lot of drama where the players had problems with the floodlights and the DRS decisions. Dharmasena recently shared a funny story featuring a dismissal of the current England skipper. The story shows Stokes walking back after getting dismissed. The background music in that story featured a popular Bhojpuri song as well which left the fans in splits.

This is Dharmasena showing why he is one of the top umpires in cricket. Even during all the pressure, the former 1996 World Cup winner has still found some tongue-in-cheek humour. This was a hilarious post shared by him and he has shown his funny personality as well. This is a great response by the umpire who has always faced a lot of drama during his time. Dharmasena’s story will be remembered by the fans for its unique approach to how to handle the intensity with some humour.
